Name: Nongshim Buckwheat Soba (메밀소바 me-mil so-ba)
Food Type: Instant Noodles
Brand: Nongshim
Country: Korea

Nongshim Memil Soba is an instant noodle product which resembles the Japanese cold noodles dish. Me-mil (메밀) is Korean for buckwheat and Soba (소바) is the literal translation for cold noodles.

With this product, you can enjoy tasty cold noodles within 5 minutes. The best part of this noodle pack? It comes with the Soba dipping sauce!

Upon opening the packet of noodles, I saw 2 small packets for the soup base and one noodle biscuit. The noodle biscuit is brown in color and harder than the instant noodle biscuits we usually see. As for the soup base packets, one contains soba soy sauce and one contains... a white powdery block. 


Cooking Directions:


For the Soup Base, put the two small packets into a bowl with 80mL icy cold water.

For the Noodles, bring 2 1/2 cups of water to a boil. Put the noodle biscuit in and cook for 4.5 minutes. Then, quickly drain the water from the noodles, place the cooked noodles in a strainer and put them under cold running water until noodles are cold. Then, put noodles in a bowl to serve.


The noodles are nicely thick and chewy in texture, which surprises me as they are no different from the soba noodles one can eat at restaurants. But what's really worth mentioning is the dipping sauce. The white powdery block melts and blends with the soy sauce as soon as it comes into contact with water. The mixture has a wasabi touch to it and the flavor is awesome!


I cooked a family pack of 4 for family dinner tonight and everyone loved it!

This shall be her short and sweet introduction.

These are the little things that make her world go round.


Vintage photographs. Long bus rides. Fancy ribbons. Warm cappucino. Pretty bags. Beach cycling. Decorating cupcakes. Falling in love. Hearing your favorite song on the radio. Scrolling in the rain. Lying in bed listening to the rain outside. Milkshakes. Bubble baths. Giggling. Long convo’s late at night. The beach. Running through sprinklers. Laughing at an inside joke. Laughing at yourself. Laughing so hard your stomach hurts. Laughing for absolutely no reason at all. Just plain laughing. Having someone tell you that you’re beautiful. Friends. Accidentally overhearing someone say something nice about you. Waking up and realizing you still have a few hours left to sleep. First kisses. Making new friends or spending time with old ones. Playing with a new puppy. Sweet dreams. Hot chocolate. Road trips with friends. Making chocolate chip cookies. Holding hands with someone you care about. Watching the sunrise. Watching a sunset. Getting out of bed in the morning after sleeping in and looking out the window to see its sunny, birds are chirping, and kids are playing. Knowing that somebody misses you.
