Pulmuone Launches 'Gourmet Buckwheat Cold Noodles' Using 'Ultra-High Pressure Noodle-Making Technology'

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Hye-sun] Pulmuone Foods announced on the 11th that it has launched 'Yukhyanggadeuk Gourmetmil Mul Naengmyeon' and 'Kalkal Dadaegi Gourmetmil Bibim Naengmyeon,' applying the 'Ultra-High Pressure Noodle Making Method.'

The 'Ultra-High Pressure Noodle Making Method,' introduced at the 'State-of-the-Art HMR Fresh Noodle Factory,' uses a high pressure of about 150 horsepower, three times that of the conventional noodle making method (based on internal standards), to extrude noodles with a dense texture, resulting in noodles with a much better texture. The noodles do not easily become soggy, and starch does not leak from the noodles into the broth, allowing consumers to enjoy the original taste of the broth until the end.

The two types of 'Gourmetmil Naengmyeon' are characterized by containing 83% buckwheat, realizing high-content buckwheat noodles that can be enjoyed at Pyongyang Naengmyeon specialty restaurants. Pulmuone conducted numerous blending tests to achieve the optimal combination of 83% buckwheat content to realize the ideal noodle elasticity and the full buckwheat aroma in the mouth. Additionally, unlike typical naengmyeon, the noodles are extruded at a thickness of 1.2 mm to differentiate the product.

'Yukhyanggadeuk Gourmetmil Mul Naengmyeon' features a rich meat broth reminiscent of that served at Pyongyang Naengmyeon specialty restaurants. Without mixing any dongchimi, the rich meat broth is made by simmering brisket and beef bones, combining the heavy meat aroma with thick 1.2 mm noodles full of buckwheat fragrance.

'Kalkal Dadaegi Gourmetmil Bibim Naengmyeon' uses a dadaegi-type bibim sauce, offering a spicy and sharp flavor bibim naengmyeon.

Meanwhile, Pulmuone pioneered the domestic fresh noodle market in the 1990s and has maintained the number one position in the market, leading the domestic fresh noodle market. Recently, it completed the 'State-of-the-Art HMR Fresh Noodle Factory' in Daeso-myeon, Eumseong-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do, where it produces new products such as 'Pyongyang Naengmyeon' and 'Gourmetmil Naengmyeon,' and plans to continue introducing various naengmyeon products.
