Undoubtedly, traditional dishes like kimchi jjigae and seolleongtang hold a special place in the heart of Korean cuisine enthusiasts. However, there's an unparalleled comfort in savoring a well-prepared noodle dish. The delightful slurp of noodles, combined with its savory broth or sauce, has a unique way of warming the soul and satisfying hunger. So, for everyone who holds a deep affection for these long, twisty culinary wonders, this tribute is specially crafted for you.

1. Japchae: This dish features various stir-fried vegetables and meat mixed together with Korean glass noodles. If you love chewy noodles, you're going to love this dish. It's savory and slightly sweet. Almost every Korean household will make this during Chuseok time.

2. Nangmyeon: While many might not typically associate noodles with being served cold, this dish is set to reshape that perception. Cold buckwheat noodles have earned their status as an essential dish, particularly during the sweltering and humid summer days. Coupled with a delectable savory broth and the delightfully chewy texture of the noodles, a dash of vinegar and yellow mustard elevate its refreshing qualities, ensuring a delightful and cooling culinary experience in no time.

3. Kalguksu: Also called knife-cut noodles, this dish is a light yet satisfying noodle soup. A really popular spot at Gwangjang Market was featured on Netflix specifically for this dish.

4. Sujebi: This isn't your usual noodle dish. A sujebi consists of dough that is thinly ripped apart. From kimchi sujebi to the classic basic sujebi, this dish is usually cooked in a large bowl or basin with potatoes and onions.

5. Jjamppong: If you're looking for something a bit more on the spicy side, jjamppong is a great noodle soup to try out. The spicy seafood-based broth creates a wonderful clash of flavors. Not only that, but the mix of various seafood and vegetables also elevates the flavor so much more.

6. Jjajjangmyeon: Seen all over Korean broadcasts, of course, you can't forget the classic black bean noodles. Pieces of pork, black bean paste, and vegetables all stir-fried together to make a thick, creamy sauce topped over freshly boiled noodles. There's a reason why this dish is always featured in K-dramas.

7. Janchi guksu: Created with thin white noodles known as somyeon, this dish is usually also created with a clear anchovy or beef broth.

With so many noodle dishes, whether it be cold or hot, Korea offers a variety for all kinds of taste palettes.
