the perfect noodles for summer🥢☀️ Spicy Korean Cold Noodles with 5-Minute Beef (Bibimguksu) — serves 2 Ingredients 🍜 200g somyeon (thin Korean wheat noodles) 🥩 200g shabu-style beef slices 🥒 1/2 cucumber, julienned 🥬 1/2 cup well-fermented kimchi, chopped + 1 tbsp kimchi juice 🥚 2 soft-boiled eggs, halved 🌿 4 perilla leaves, thinly sliced (optional but so good) ⚪ toasted sesame seeds Sauce 🌶️ 2 tbsp gochujang 🌶️ 1 tbsp gochugaru 🍯 1.5 tbsp honey (or maesil-cheong if you have it) 🍶 2 tbsp rice vinegar 🥢 1 tbsp soy sauce ✨ 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil 🧄 2 cloves garlic, grated Easy beef 🥢 1 tbsp soy sauce 🍯 1 tsp sugar 🧄 1 clove garlic, grated ✨ 1 tsp sesame oil + black pepper Steps 1. Whisk all sauce ingredients with the kimchi juice and let it sit while you cook. 2. Toss the shabu beef with the easy beef seasoning — no marinating needed, thin slices soak it up instantly. 3. Sear the beef in a screaming hot pan for 60-90 seconds until just cooked with crispy edges. 4. Boil somyeon for 3 minutes, then rinse aggressively under ice-cold water, rubbing to remove starch. Chewy noodles or nothing. 5. Toss the noodles with all of the sauce and the chopped kimchi until every strand is coated. 6. Bowl it up, fan the warm beef on top, add cucumber, egg, perilla, and sesame seeds. #bibimguksu #koreanfood #coldnoodles #spicynoodles #easydinner
