Special Summer menu in Korea. It is easy to make and you can eat it right away. The dish was born in Northern part of Korea where it is suited to grow Memil (buckwheat)
"Mac" of the name "Mackuksu" means "instantly" in Korean and "Kuksu" means "noodle", so the name "Mackuksu" literally suggests it is a noodle dish that you can easily make and eat. There are two different types for this dish. One is "Bibim noodle" tat you eat with source and another type is "Mul noodle" that you eat with soup. Bibim noodle has cucumber, boiled egg, sea weed and sesame etc. as toppings and mixed with a source made by Gochujang, vinegar and sugar etc. Mul noodle (water noodle) has lighter flavour with beef soup instead of Gochujang.
