Ingredients
- 8 oz thin wheat noodles (somyeon)
- 1/2 cup chopped kimchi
- 2 lettuce leaves shredded
- 1/2 English cucumber sliced into thin strips
- 2 perilla leaves (kkaennip) sliced, optional
- 1 hard or soft boiled egg sliced in half (Omit it for vegan diet)
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds crushed
Bibim sauce
- 2 tbsp Korean chili paste (gochujang)
- 1 tbsp Korean chili flakes (gochugaru)
- 1/2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar or white vinegar
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp Korean plum extract (maeshil-cheong) optional
Instructions
- To make the bibim sauce, combine all the sauce ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Set aside. Crush the toasted sesame seeds in a mortar until coarsely ground. Set aside.
- Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook according to the package directions. To make the noodles chewier, add some cold water when the water comes to a full boil. Repeat this process 2-3 more times whenever the water returns to a boil.
- Drain the noodles in a colander and rinse under cold running water while tossing the noodles around. This helps to cool down the noodles and makes them chewier. Drain the noodles thoroughly.
- Put the cold noodles in a mixing bowl and add the bibim sauce. Toss the noodles with your hands or kitchen tongs until they are evenly coated.
- Divide the noodles into individual serving bowls. Top with your desired toppings, such as chopped kimchi, sliced lettuce, cucumber, shredded cabbage, perilla leaves, and a hard boiled egg. Sprinkle the crushed toasted sesame seeds on top and serve immediately.To eat, toss the noodles gently with the toppings to mix everything together. This will help to ensure that each bite is full of flavor and texture.
