Instant Pot Chogae Guksu

Let’s Eat is a lighthearted Korean TV series about singlehood and the solo life experience, seen through food. The main character, Gu Dae Hyung, has a deep appreciation for food and shares his food philosophy, often unsolicited. Since watching the show, this simple yet incredibly satisfying noodle dish has become a personal summertime favorite. Chogae guksu has a refreshing, familiar, and tangy cold broth like naengmyeon, but the tender chicken, fresh veggies, and egg make it a completely balanced meal. Cornish hens will yield more breast meat, but you can also use a small chicken in this recipe. Save any leftover meat for another meal—we love to use it in lettuce wraps.

Note: If you’d like to top your cold noodles with Egg Jidan, whisk two eggs together in a small bowl. Using a small nonstick skillet, add 1 tsp. cooking oil to thinly coat the surface. Over low heat, when the pan is hot, pour the egg mixture into the skillet. When the egg liquid begins to solidify, turn off the heat. Let the egg crepe sit in the hot pan, about 2 to 3 minutes. Turn the heat on to low heat. Flip over the egg crepe and let the other side finish cooking, about 1 to 2 minutes. Allow the egg to cool, then cut into thin strips.
