Baek Jong-won's Gochujang Sesame Bomb Bibimbap Noodles

Recipe 🍳

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.
