The very special noodles are being prepared in accordance with the North Korean recipe: they are made in chilled meat broth, topped with beef brisket, pickled radish, sliced cucumbers and half a boiled egg.
“Cheongwadae [the Blue House] chefs cooked their own broth, and used 100 percent pure buckwheat flour to make the noodles,” a tweet on the official account of President Moon Jae-in’s office read.

Last week, Kim Jong-un brought Pyongyang naengmyeon to South Korea as a gift to Moon Jae-in, as the dish was expected to be included in the menu of the evening banquet. The two leaders held talks in the Peace House, agreeing to work on a peace treaty and on the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.
