๐Ÿ Preparing the Noodles

The key to perfect Bibim Guksu lies in the texture of the noodles.

  1. Boil the Noodles
    • Add somyeon (thin wheat noodles) to boiling water and cook for 2 minutes and 30 seconds.
    • Be mindful of the time to prevent the noodles from becoming too soft.
  2. Rinse with Cold Water
    • Rinse the cooked noodles thoroughly under cold water, scrubbing them gently to remove excess starch.
    • This process enhances the noodlesโ€™ chewy and firm texture.

๐Ÿฅฃ Making the Spicy-Sweet Sauce (Serves 6)

The sauce is the heart of Bibim Guksu, delivering bold and balanced flavors.

  1. Prepare the Basic Sauce Ingredients
    • 6 tablespoons of gochujang (Korean red chili paste)
    • 3 tablespoons of gochugaru (Korean chili flakes)
    • 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
    • 2 tablespoons of apple vinegar
    • 1.5 tablespoons of sugar
    • 4 tablespoons of oligosaccharide (or corn syrup)
    • 3 tablespoons of plum extract
    • 3 tablespoons of minced garlic
    • 2 tablespoons of chopped green onions
    • A generous amount of ground sesame seeds for a nutty finish
  2. The Secret Ingredient: Pear Juice
    • Add 1 can of pear juice to the sauce mixture.
    • This not only increases the moisture content but also adds a natural sweetness and refreshing flavor, enhancing the sauceโ€™s depth.

๐Ÿฝ๏ธ Mixing the Noodles

  1. Pour the Sauce
    • Generously pour the prepared sauce over the noodles.
    • The moist texture of the sauce helps coat the noodles evenly without feeling dry.
  2. Add a Touch of Sesame Oil
    • Drizzle 1 tablespoon of sesame oil to infuse a rich, nutty aroma.
    • Sesame oil adds a luxurious depth to the dish.

๐Ÿฅ— Topping for the Perfect Finish

Top your Bibim Guksu with fresh, crunchy vegetables for added flavor and texture:

  • Chopped Lettuce: Adds a crisp, refreshing bite.
  • Julienned Cucumber: Enhances the dish with a cool, fresh taste.
  • Boiled Egg: Provides a creamy, savory balance to the spicy noodles.

Feel free to customize the toppings based on your preference. The combination of fresh vegetables and sesame oil perfectly complements the bold flavors of the sauce.
