Cooking
- Take out the frozen radish pickle and pollock from the packet and defrost them on a separate plate at room temperature for about 30 mins.
- (This step is only necessary if they are frozen.
- In my case, even though I defrosted them for 30 mins, I had to separate them with my finger tips as they were still frozen.
- My finger tips were freezing cold! If this happens to you, just rinse your hands in warm tap water in between separating.
- Put some hot water into a large pot and boil it for 2 to 3 mins.
- (You could use cold water then it just takes longer to boil it.) Once it starts to boil, add the noodles into the pot and boil it for another 2 to 3 mins.
- As it boils, use a pair of tongs to shake the noodles up a bit to separate them.
- Drain the pot and rinse the noodles in cold running water.
- You could add a tray of ice cubes to speed up this process – you want cold noodles.
- Leave the noodles in the sieve/colander until the excess water gets drained (about 30 sec to 1 min).
- Gather one serving portion of noodles with your hand and put it into a medium sized salad bowl.
- Add the pickled radish, pollock and the sauce.
- Optionally, you could also add cucumber and/or boiled eggs.
- Repeat this for the rest of the servings.
- Serve and enjoy!.
