Cooking tips

  • The garlic-infused sauce offers different levels of spicy tanginess depending on whether eaten fresh the same day or after one or two days of refrigerated aging—choose based on your preference.
  • When rinsing the noodles in cold water, rub them vigorously until there’s no slippery feeling left; this ensures they won’t become soft or soggy later.
  • Using whole sesame seeds will result in less nuttiness, so always grind them completely in a mortar and pestle—or crush them thoroughly—to release their oils and aroma and achieve the rich, paste-like sesame flavor.
  • If you have kimchi, cucumber, lettuce, or pickled radish in your fridge, thinly slice them and mix them in as additional toppings—they pair wonderfully with this dish.

Recommended for

  • People looking to move beyond ordinary bibimbap noodles and experience a new genre where the rich, nutty flavor of sesame is maximized.
