About this recipe

Bibim guksu is one of Korea's most beloved summer noodle dishes and comes together in minutes. A sweet-spicy gochujang sauce balances crunchy vegetables and a protein-rich egg for a refreshing, well-rounded meal.

Method

1
Boil the eggs for 8 minutes, transfer to cold water, peel and halve them.
2
In a small bowl, whisk together the gochujang, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey and garlic to make the sauce.
3
Cook the noodles according to package instructions, about 3-4 minutes.
4
Drain the noodles and rinse under ice-cold water to remove the starch.
5
Transfer the drained noodles to a wide bowl and add the prepared sauce.
6
Add the cucumber and carrot and toss the noodles well with the sauce.
7
Divide into portions and place the boiled eggs on top.
8
Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and fresh scallions and serve immediately.

Tips

Rinsing the noodles in ice water keeps them from sticking and gives a crisp texture.
To reduce the heat, halve the gochujang and add a little more honey for sweetness.
For extra protein, top with grilled tofu or edamame.
