Jumbo sized Buckwheat Noodles - 쟁반국수
Jaengban-guksu (cold buckwheat noodle platter) has been popular since the 1990's when mak-guksu (mixed buckwheat noodles) restaurants first began to offer 2~3 portion of Makguksu on large platters, with mounds of delectable garnishes. The noodles, mixed with spicy sauce, fall somewhere between Bibim-guksu and Bibim-naengmyeon.
Jaengban-guksu literally means 'platter noodle.' One may wonder why noodles are served on a platter instead of individual bowls. But that's the key point. Jaengban-guksu is basically Bibim-guksu on a platter. Mixed with several kinds of vegetables, Jaengban-guksu epitomizes the Korean style of dining: mixing and sharing. The Korean practice of eating from the same dish signifies trust and intimacy. Another merit of Jaengban-guksu is that individuals can eat as much or little as they want.
Jaengban-guksu is best described as a dish made of 'half noodles, half vegetables.' The vegetables include lettuce, crown daisy, cucumber and carrot. Boiled beef and eggs are also tossed in, but the main ingredient is definately vegetables. It is a low-fat, low-calorie meal and perfect for weight-watchers.
Buckwheat, the main ingredient, contains ten to twelve percent protein. Most of all, the abundance of essential amino acids such as lysine and tryptophan, which are lacking in most other grains, make it one of the most nutritious foods.
