  3. 3 Remove the beef shank from the boiling water, press it firmly to make it firm, let it cool, then slice it very thinly.
  4. 4 Slice cucumbers, pears, and radishes into strips, and mix the radishes with vinegar and sugar.
  5. 5 Boil naengmyeon noodles for 2 minutes, rinse immediately under cold water, and squeeze to make them firm.
  6. 6 Arrange the noodles in a bowl, add the meat, pear, cucumber, and half a boiled egg, then pour in the ice-cold broth.
