Fiji: Kokoda

Cooking Time: 30

North Korea: Mul Naengmyeon

Cooking Time: 90 minutes + time for broth to chill
We’re starting our culinary journey in North Korea, where I’d venture to guess you haven’t eaten a meal.  Since foreign visitation is strictly limited, so is our insight on their cuisine.  Technically speaking, I actually have been to North Korea, but we stayed within the strict limits of the DMZ and...
