Kuksi

Noodle and Dumpling Dishes

Kuksi is a noodle dish of Koryo-saram cuisine, the cooking of the ethnic Koreans of the mainland former Soviet Union. It is served cold and is often spicy, usually with beef, and it is the Koryo-saram version of janchi-guksu. The name is a dialectal form of the Korean word guksu, which means noodles and by default often refers to janchi-guksu. The dish is a popular menu item at Cafe Lily, an Uzbek-Korean restaurant in Brooklyn, New York City, and the Moscow Times has described the kuksi served in the Koryo-saram district of Moscow as having quite the kick. Acorn noodle soup and gogi-guksu are listed as related variations.
