Summer Noodles with Vegetable (Bibim Guksu)

Well, Bibim guksu, is a popular traditional cold noodle dish using thin wheat flour noodles called somyeon and a special spicy, sweet and sour sauce. You can cook this in advance since this is a cold noodle dish. This is something like Bibimbap and you can add any vegetable like shredded cucumber or nori shred to it. In here I used dried udon noodle - Kiw Ami Udon which I got from Daiso.

Preparation: 20 mins

Ingredients (serves 1)
° 100g dried udon noodle or wheat flour noodles , cooked
° 25g carrot, shredded
° 25g lettuce, shredded
° 1 (25g) tempeh, diced, mix well with chinese 5 spices salt or BBQ salt and panfried for 1-2 minutes
° 2 shiitake mushrooms, sliced and blanched
° some roasted sesame seeds

Sauce
° 2 tablespoon gochujang (Korean Hot Bean Paste)
° 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
° 1 teaspoon sesame oil
° 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
° 1 tablespoon water
° ½ teaspoon sugar

Method
1. Place all the sauce ingredients into a bowl and mix well. Set aside.
2. Place the noodle on a serving plate and garnish with sesame seed. Arrange shredded carrot, lettuce, tempeh and mushroom. Serve with the sauce.

    Hi :)

    No onion and garlic. You can double check before purchasing it.

    Cheers :)

    Koreans don't really use udon or wheat flour noodles in this dish. The noodle of choice is usually Maemil Guksu or buckwheat noodles. If you can't find that, then you can use soba as a substitute. Bibim Guksu is a traditional dish, but this recipe is a non-traditional spin on it as tempeh, BBQ salt, and Chinese five spice are not used in the traditional dish.
