Prep 8 min Cook 12 min Serves 2 Source

Ingredients

  • 180 g somen noodles ((6.3 ounces))
  • 1/2 cup aged Kimchi (, cut into thumbnail pieces)
  • 85 g Lebanese cucumber or English cucumber ((3 ounces), chilled, rinsed, seed removed and julienned)
  • 1 hard boiled egg (, halved to serve on top of the noodles)
  • 2 Tbsp gochujang ((Korean chili paste))
  • 1 Tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp honey
  • 1 Tbsp raw sugar
  • 1 Tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds

Steps

  1. 1

    Cook the somen noodles in rapidly boiling water until al dente (follow the package directions). Drain the noodles and rinse under cold running water for about 1 minute, stirring with tongs or your hand to cool them evenly. Drain thoroughly.

  2. 2

    Combine the noodles, kimchi (and any kimchi juice released during cutting), and bibim sauce in a large mixing bowl. Mix well using your hands (wear a food-handling glove). Serve in a bowl, then top with cucumber and egg. Enjoy!
