[SEMPIO] Green Tea Vermicelli (녹차소면)(300g)
🍜 [SEMPIO] Green Tea Vermicelli (300g)
Elevate your noodle game with a vibrant, antioxidant-rich twist. Sempio Green Tea Vermicelli (also known as Nokcha-somyeon) is crafted using premium wheat flour infused with finely powdered green tea leaves from South Korea’s pristine Jeju Island. These thin, square-cut noodles are hand-kneaded and aged for 16 hours, resulting in a remarkably springy texture and a delicate, earthy aroma that captures the essence of a spring harvest. 🇰🇷🍃
💡 Pro Tips for a Vibrant Noodle Bowl
-
The Cold Rinse Ritual: To achieve the signature "chewy" Korean texture, immediately plunge the cooked noodles into a bowl of ice water. Rub them gently with your hands to remove excess starch; this prevents clumping and gives the noodles a beautiful, translucent green sheen. ❄️
-
The Summer "Bibim" Style: These noodles are the star of Bibim-guksu (spicy mixed noodles). Their mild tea flavor perfectly balances a sharp, spicy gochujang sauce, fresh cucumbers, and a boiled egg. 🥗
-
Dipping Perfection: Serve them cold alongside a chilled soy-based dipping sauce (similar to Zaru Soba). The subtle floral notes of the green tea are most noticeable when served simply with light, savory accompaniments. 🥢
🔬 The Craft of the Noodle
Sempio combines traditional techniques with functional ingredients:
-
Jeju Green Tea & Spinach: The vibrant color is 100% natural, derived from a blend of Jeju green tea powder and a touch of spinach powder. It contains no artificial dyes or preservatives.
-
16-Hour Maturation: Most commercial noodles are dried quickly. Sempio allows the dough to rest and mature for 16 hours, which develops the gluten structure for a "hand-made" elastic bite that doesn't get mushy.
-
Hot Air Convection Drying: By mimicking a natural drying environment, the noodles are dried evenly from the inside out, ensuring they maintain their structural integrity even in hot soups.
-
Easy Portions: The 300g pack is conveniently divided into band-tied bundles, making it easy to measure exactly one serving (approx. 75g-100g) without a scale.
⚠️ Caution & Storage
-
Cooking Time: Boil for exactly 3–4 minutes. Because these are thin vermicelli, even 30 seconds of overcooking can lead to a loss of that prized "al dente" texture. ⏱️
-
Allergen Info: Contains Wheat (Gluten). Naturally Vegan and Vegetarian.
-
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. The noodles come in light-shielding packaging to protect the natural green tea chlorophyll from fading; keep the outer bag sealed tight to maintain the color and fresh aroma.
