Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the seasoning sauce for the delicious Kimchi Noodles. In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of fragrant sesame oil, 1 tablespoon of sugar for sweetness, 1 tablespoon of gochugaru for a bit of spice, and 2 tablespoons of vinegar for tanginess. Stir well until the sugar is dissolved. Feel free to adjust the amount of gochugaru or vinegar to suit your preference.
Step 2
Chop the kimchi into bite-sized pieces. Add the chopped kimchi to the bowl with the prepared seasoning sauce and mix them together. Gently toss the kimchi and sauce until well combined, allowing the kimchi’s savory flavors to meld with the sauce.
Step 3
Now it’s time to cook the somyeon noodles. Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil and add the somyeon. Cook for about 30 seconds less than the time indicated on the package to ensure a perfectly chewy texture. Drain the noodles and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process and remove excess starch. Add the cooked and drained noodles to the bowl with the kimchi and sauce mixture, and gently toss to coat the noodles evenly with the seasoning.
Step 4
Finally, arrange the well-coated Kimchi Noodles in a serving bowl. Garnish with 1 teaspoon of sesame seeds for added nutty flavor and aroma. Your refreshing, tangy, and spicy Kimchi Noodles are ready to be enjoyed! This dish is perfect for beating the summer heat and reawakening your appetite.
