  • In a small bowl, combine gochugaru, soy sauce, fish sauce, sugar, minced garlic, sesame oil, and chopped kimchi. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the sauce turns a deep red color. Set aside — this will be your spicy noodle sauce.
    • 2 tbsp gochugaru (16 g)
    • 1 tsp soy sauce (5 g)
    • 1 tbsp fish sauce (15 g)
      (optional)
    • 2 tbsp sugar (25 g)
    • 1 tsp garlic (3 g)minced
    • 2 tbsp sesame oil (28 g)
    • ½ cup kimchi (100 g)chopped
  • Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the noodles according to the package directions until just tender. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool completely. In a large bowl, toss the noodles with the prepared spicy sauce, chives, and sliced Cheongyang pepper. Add the vinegar and mix again until everything is evenly coated.
    • 1 pack noodles (100 g)
    • 2 tbsp chives (10 g)chopped
      (optional)
    • 1 cheongyang pepper (30 g)thinly sliced
      (optional) (korean chili pepper)
    • 1 tbsp white vinegar (15 g)
  • Transfer the noodles to a serving bowl and top with extra chives, Cheongyang pepper slices, and thin cucumber strips for crunch. Finish with a drizzle of sesame oil and, if you like, a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Serve chilled and enjoy right away.
