Bibim Guksu (Korean Spicy Cold Noodles)

Make refreshing Bibim Guksu, a Korean spicy cold noodle dish made with thin wheat noodles, gochujang sauce, and fresh vegetables. Perfect for summer — light, tangy, and full of flavor!


🥢 Ingredients:

  • 200g somyeon (thin wheat noodles) or soba noodles
  • 1 small cucumber, julienned
  • 1 small carrot, julienned
  • ½ cup kimchi, chopped
  • 1 boiled egg, halved
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 1 green onion, finely chopped

For the Spicy Sauce:

  • 2 tbsp gochujang (Korean red chili paste)
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 tsp gochugaru (Korean chili flakes) (optional, for extra spice)

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

  1. Cook the noodles:
    Boil noodles according to package instructions (about 3–4 minutes). Rinse under cold water to stop cooking and remove starch. Drain well.

  2. Prepare the sauce:
    In a bowl, whisk together gochujang, soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, sesame oil, garlic, and chili flakes until smooth.

  3. Mix the noodles:
    In a large bowl, combine the cold noodles, chopped kimchi, cucumber, and carrot. Pour the sauce over and mix thoroughly.

  4. Garnish and serve:
    Top with half a boiled egg, sesame seeds, and chopped green onions. Serve immediately for a refreshing cold meal.


🍽️ Serving Suggestions:

  • Serve Bibim Guksu as a main dish on hot days, or as a side dish with Korean BBQ.
  • Pair with grilled Samgyeopsal, Galbi, or Spicy Korean Chicken Wings.
  • Add some cold sliced pear or apple for a sweet, refreshing twist.

🧊 Storage Tips:

  • Store leftover noodles and sauce separately in airtight containers.
  • Keep refrigerated for up to 2 days.
  • Mix just before serving to maintain freshness and texture.
