Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Fill a pot with plenty of water and bring it to a boil over high heat. This water is for boiling the udon noodles, so it needs to be fully boiling for them to cook properly.
Step 2
Prepare the fresh vegetables. Thinly shred the red cabbage and thinly slice the cucumber on a diagonal. (Feel free to add other vegetables like carrots or cabbage according to your preference.)
Step 3
Once the water is rapidly boiling, add the udon noodles and cook for the time indicated on the package. It’s best to use a timer to ensure the noodles are cooked to a chewy texture.
Step 4
Rinse the cooked udon noodles immediately under cold running water to cool them down, then drain them thoroughly in a colander. If water remains, the sauce may become diluted.
Step 5
In a bowl, combine the drained udon noodles and all the prepared vegetables. Add the dressing ingredients (Gochujang, Cho-gochujang, Allulose or Oligosaccharide) and a drizzle of sesame oil and sprinkle of sesame seeds. Gently mix everything together by hand until well combined. Adjust the seasoning to your taste.
Step 6
Transfer the delicious bibim udon to a serving bowl. You can add a hard-boiled egg or seaweed flakes as toppings for extra flavor. Enjoy your cool and tasty meal!
