Spicy Wheat Noodles -Yukjeon Bibim Milmyeon in Busan

While visiting Busan I made my way down to one of its most famous beaches, Haeundae. It’s a nice little walk from the subway to the beach with a main strip leading down to the beach that has shops and restaurants on both sides of the street.

On the walk to the beach I noticed a place serving cold wheat noodles which is a very popular dish in South Korea and something I definitely wanted to give a try.

They had regular wheat noodles and spicy wheat noodles so of course I had to opt for the spicy.

The presentation of the noodles is fantastic and it looks essentially like the photo on the menu.

The wheat noodles were topped with half an egg, vegetables, radish, fish, with a nice sprinkling of sesame seeds on top. The bowl of noodles is served nice and frosty. You can literally see some ice in the bowl!

The sauce is a flavorful combination of sweet, sour, and spicy, with none of the flavors being overly dominant. It all combines for a very tasty experience.

This type of noodle is definitely chewy and your jaw can certainly get a workout eating through this, lol. You get a nice mixture of the chewy noodle, with a crunch from the vegetables and another soft texture with the fish pieces.

This splendid bowl of frigid noodles definitely hit the spot on a warm day. The combination of flavors and textures made this a memorable first taste of Korean spicy wheat noodles and I look forward to grabbing another bowl of these delicious noodles!
