10-Minute Bibim Guksu (Korean Spicy Cold Noodles)
Ingredients
8 oz somyeon (thin wheat noodles) or buckwheat/soba noodles
cucumber, kimchi, boiled egg, crushed sesame seeds, and/or any other toppings of choice optional, for garnish
Sauce
3 tbsp Gochujang (Korean chili paste)
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp sesame oil
2 tbsp white vinegar or rice vinegar
3 cloves garlic minced
1 1/2 tbsp sugar or honey
1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
Directions
Combine all sauce ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
Cook noodles according to package instructions. Drain and rinse the noodles in ice-cold water, rubbing them with your hands to remove excess starch. Drain well and place in a bowl.
Add the sauce over the noodles and mix together until the noodles are evenly coated. Garnish and enjoy!
Notes
These noodles are best served fresh. To prepare it in advance, I recommend assembling the sauce and adding it to your noodles upon serving. The sauce will be good for up to 1-2 days in the fridge.
Popular toppings include a soft-boiled egg, cucumber, kimchi, lettuce, cabbage, perilla leaves, and carrot, but you can add any vegetables of choice. Enjoy everyone!
