Kong-guksu is a special Korean noodle dish. It's served cold, especially in warmer weather. The name Kong-guksu comes from two Korean words: kong, which means soybean, and guksu, which means noodles. So, it's basically "noodles in cold soybean soup."
This tasty dish is made with noodles, usually from wheat flour. These noodles swim in a creamy, cold soup. The soup is made from ground soybeans, which gives it a unique and refreshing flavor.
History of Kong-guksu
It's not exactly clear when people in Korea first started eating Kong-guksu. However, we know it's been around for a long time! A cookbook from the late 1800s, called Siui jeonseo, mentions this dish. This means that Koreans have been enjoying Kong-guksu for at least over a hundred years.
