Wormwood-Starch Noodle Served in Pyongyang
Pyongyang, August 1 (KCNA) -- Tongchonho Restaurant at the foot of picturesque Mt. Taesong in Pyongyang has recently developed nutritious and tasty starch noodle mixed with wormwood to delight the citizens in their 150-day campaign.

This news goes around among the citizens.

The restaurant has served starch noodle, bread and cooling beverage to those visiting the pleasure ground as main dishes.

The starch noodle is a favorite traditional dish of the Korean people. But the starch is not high nutritive.

In the course of striving to eliminate the defect of the starch noodle and increase its nutritive value and taste, its employees succeeded in making the wormwood-starch noodle.

Wormwood growing everywhere in Korea not only contains all the nutritive elements which are poor in starch but also is of high medicinal value.

The wormwood-starch noodle is not so tough, saltless and slippery as starch noodle but is very tasty.

The color of the noodle gives fresh and mild feelings, adds taste to the cold noodle and stimulates the appetite.

The light green color of the noodle is harmonized well with sliced raw fish and spices.

The wormwood-starch noodle, good to see and tasty, diversifies the dietary culture of the Korean people.
