Cup of Yum
To make the noodle bowl
- Cook the soba noodles to the packet instruction. Rinse in cold water and set aside in a sieve to drain.
- Boil the eggs, rinse in cold water for 30 seconds then peel while still hot. The shell will come off much easier this way. Set aside to cool.
- Mix the noodles with the sauce then place into waiting bowls.
- Add the cucumber to the side and then cut the eggs in half and arrange in the bowl.
- Sprinkle over the chilli flakes and sesame seeds and serve!
Notes
- You can make the elements for Bibim Guksu individually then keep them separately in the fridge until you need. Then it's just a case of assembling when you're ready.
- Refrigerate leftovers for 1-2 days (covered). Not suitable for freezing.
