Dish type
Korean noodle dishes (myeon)
Wheat, buckwheat and glass noodles, served cold or hot, in broth or with sauce. Knife-cut noodles, cold noodles and ramyeon have lists of their own. Black bean sauce noodles and spicy seafood noodle soup are the two staples of Korean-Chinese restaurants, which also deliver. Japchae is different: glass noodles stir-fried with vegetables, served as a side dish or at celebrations. Banquet noodles in warm anchovy broth are a wedding and party food. Most noodle dishes are one-person meals, and staff can cut long noodles with scissors if you ask.
