Looking for a good, healthy dish at our Seattle Korean restaurant? You can’t go wrong with a bowl of buckwheat noodles. Our “buckwheat cold noodle” and “buckwheat spicy cold noodle” dishes are made from what the Koreans call “neng myun”. These noodles are similar to the Japanese “soba”, and are served cold to give them a solid, chewy quality that many pasta enthusiasts find irresistible. And, as they’re made from buckwheat, they offer amazing benefits to your health.
The value of buckwheat cannot be understated. This grain is rich in fiber, iron, protein, phosphorus, copper, and vitamins B1, B2, and P. Unique among grains, it even contains the essential bioflavonoid rutin, which is important to strengthen capillaries and battle free radicals. Buckwheat also contains choline, which regulates your blood pressure, metabolism, and liver function. It’s no wonder that the grain has been famous for its medicinal properties for as far back as ancient times.
