When it’s too hot to cook but you still want something fire, Bibim Guksu is the answer.
These Korean spicy cold noodles come together in just 10 minutes, coated in a perfectly balanced gochujang-based sauce that’s sweet, tangy, and just the right amount of spicy. Topped with crisp cucumber, kimchi, or a soft-boiled egg—this is your ultimate quick-fix comfort food.
All you need are thin wheat noodles (like somyeon or soba) and a simple sauce made from 3 tbsp gochujang, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp sesame oil, 2 tbsp vinegar, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1.5 tbsp sugar or honey, and 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds.
Mix the sauce and set aside. Boil the noodles according to the package, then rinse in ice water and drain well. Toss with the sauce until evenly coated, then top with your favorite garnishes—kimchi, cucumber, boiled egg, crushed sesame seeds—whatever your heart desires.
It’s light, punchy, and ready in a flash. Try it once and you’ll be hooked. Full demo and pro tips are in the video below—don’t miss it!
