Kong-guksu^[2] (Korean: 콩국수; lit. 'soybean noodles') or noodles in cold soybean soup^[2] is a seasonal Korean noodle dish served in a cold soy milk broth. It comprises noodles made with wheat flour and soup made from ground soybeans.^[3] It is unknown when Korean people started eating kongguksu; however, in accordance with the mention of the dish along with kkaeguksu (깨국수; lit. 'sesame noodle soup') in Siui jeonseo, a Joseon-era cookbook published around the late 19th century, it is presumed to have originated at least as early as the 19th century.^[4] It is served with salt or sugar depending on the region.
