Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz somyeon (thin wheat noodles)
- 3 tbsp gochujang
- 1 tbsp gochugaru
- 3 tbsp water
- 3 tbsp sugar
- 3 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp crushed sesame seeds
- Optional garnishes: roasted sesame seeds, julienned cucumbers, Asian pears, boiled egg, cabbage
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the somyeon noodles and cook according to package instructions (usually 3 minutes – take them out immediately; it’s easy to overcook!).
- Drain and rinse the noodles under cold water until completely cooled. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, make the sauce by mixing together the gochujang, gochugaru, water, sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic, and crushed sesame seeds until well combined.
- Into the same bowl, add the cold noodles with the sauce until evenly coated.
- Transfer to serving bowls and top with your choice of garnishes like cucumbers, Asian pears, boiled egg, cabbage, and a sprinkle of roasted sesame seeds.
