It’s my first time making it completely from scratch! The ingredients aren’t hard to find at all.

Here is my original comment on the mul-naengmyeon recipe page, in case anyone wants to know the substitutes:
Hello Maangchi and anyone else who’s reading this!
I found a substitute for the noodles if you can’t find it where you live: white rice noodles! Soak it in boiling water for a minute or two and don’t cook it, just keep checking until you feel like the texture is right. Then rinse with cold water and add ice. That’s it!
I also have a broth substitute: water, salt, sugar, black vinegar, fish sauce, beef/chicken stock and kimchi juice! Of course it doesn’t taste as good but it’s an easy replacement. Hope it helps!
It looks mild, cold, and very refreshing! Yum!
It was! Thank you!
