Bibim Naeng Myun (Korean Cold Noodles)

With all the heat we’ve been experiencing in New York, I’ve been craving a giant bowl of bibim naeng myun.  The high prices of Korean food in Koreatown boggle my mind, and I can’t justify paying $10+ for a bowl of cold noodles.  But, this semi-homemade version hits the spot. This Choripdong brand is preferred by my family, and I picked up a 3-serving bag for $3.99.  The toppings shown here are sliced beef (London broil, using the instructions here), radish kimchi, hard-boiled egg, and quick-pickled cucumber.  I think that brings the cost down to less than $3/bowl.  Other popular toppings include quick-pickled daikon and Asian pear.
