- 0.5 tbsp gochujang (Korean red pepper paste)
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp vinegar

- 1 boiled egg
- 1 pinch sesame seeds
Equipment
- 1 scissors
- 1 Pot
- 1 Tongs
- 1 Bowl

Method
- Cook the noodles in boiling water. For a chewy texture, add a bit of cold water when it first starts to boil and continue cooking. Check the package instructions for the exact cooking time, as it varies by noodle type.
- Rinse the cooked noodles under cold water while rubbing them gently. This makes them extra chewy.
- Cut the kimchi into small pieces using scissors.
- Make the seasoning sauce: Mix 0.5 tbsp gochujang, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 0.5 tbsp sugar, 1 tbsp vinegar, 1 tbsp sesame oil If the kimchi is very sour, reduce the vinegar to 0.5 tbsp.
- Add the kimchi and seasoning sauce to the noodles. Korean Mom’s Tip! Adding 1 to 1.5 tbsp of kimchi juice enhances the umami flavor of bibim guksu. Mix everything well.
- Plate the noodles and top with a boiled egg and sesame seeds. You can also add cucumber garnish for extra freshness.
