作法
- 做拌醬：辣椒醬、醋、醬油、糖、蜂蜜、麻油、大蒜與芥末攪打至光滑。冷藏至少30分鐘——靜置更佳。
- 依包裝煮麵——通常3–4分鐘。立即瀝乾並在冷水下用力沖洗90秒，雙手搓麵以去除澱粉。冷水沖必要；溫麵會毀掉這道菜。
- 沖過的麵浸冰水2分鐘。應冷得手感冰、極挺。瀝乾。
- 麵分到兩個深碗。每碗鋪大量醃蘿蔔絲、小黃瓜絲、梨片、芝麻與半個水煮蛋。
- 每碗舀慷慨的4大匙拌醬。食客桌邊用力把所有食材拌勻——麵應均勻紅滑。
- 桌邊配剪刀——長冷麵難應付，多數韓國餐廳給食客剪刀剪。冷拌冷麵應冰冷食用，碗可在長餐期間放在冰上。

文化背景
Naengmyeon翻譯為「冷麵」，與北韓平壤相關——這道菜由1950後南遷難民帶南，現是首爾招牌夏菜。兩大派：平壤（mul-naengmyeon，冷牛肉湯）與咸興式拌（乾、醬拌版）。Q彈口感來自地瓜粉與蕎麥混合；純蕎麥麵不能複製。餐廳剪刀是實用妥協；麵特意做長因象徵長壽。
