Ingredients needed 🛒1 servings

  • shirataki noodles 1 serving
  • chadolbachi beef 100g
  • cucumber 1/3
  • bean sprouts handful
  • onion 1/4
  • meat seasoning: a pinch of salt, a pinch of pepper
  • marinated onion: vinegar 1 tablespoon, sugar a pinch, salt a pinch
  • special bibim sauce: minced garlic 5 cloves, finely chopped onion a little, soy sauce 2 tablespoons, water 30ml, mirin 1 tablespoon, vinegar 1 tablespoon, sugar 1/2 tablespoon, oyster sauce 1/2 tablespoon, red pepper powder a little, sesame oil 1/2 tablespoon

Recipe 🍳

  1. Soak shirataki noodles in cold water at least 30 to 40 minutes before cooking to soften them.
  2. Slice 1/4 of an onion thinly and mix with 1 tablespoon of vinegar, a pinch of sugar, and a pinch of salt. Let it marinate for a tangy flavor.
  3. Mash 5 cloves of garlic with the side of a knife, then finely chop. Add any leftover onion scraps and chop them finely into a bowl.
  4. In the same bowl, combine the minced garlic and onion with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 30ml of water, 1 tablespoon of mirin, 1 tablespoon of vinegar, 1/2 tablespoon of sugar, 1/2 tablespoon of oyster sauce, a little red pepper powder, and 1/2 tablespoon of sesame oil. Mix well to create the special bibim sauce—this is the key step to letting the garlic aroma mature.
  5. Cut the cucumber into thin strips. Blanch the bean sprouts briefly in boiling water, then immediately rinse under cold water to preserve crunch and remove excess moisture.
  6. After soaking in cold water, briefly blanch the shirataki noodles in boiling water, then immediately rinse thoroughly under cold water to maintain their chewy texture and remove all moisture.
  7. Heat a pan with a small amount of cooking oil. Place the chadolbachi beef in the pan, sprinkle with a little salt and pepper, and sauté until cooked through. Remove excess grease and set aside.
  8. Place the drained shirataki noodles in a bowl, layer with blanched bean sprouts, sliced cucumber, marinated onion, and grilled chadolbachi beef. Pour the prepared garlic sauce evenly over the top and toss well to serve.
  1. Soak shirataki noodles in cold water for at least 30 minutes. Marinate sliced onion with vinegar, sugar, and salt.
  2. Mix minced garlic with soy sauce, water, mirin, vinegar, sugar, oyster sauce, red pepper powder, and sesame oil to make the sauce in advance.
  3. Slice the cucumber. Blanch the bean sprouts and soaked shirataki noodles separately in boiling water, then rinse under cold water and drain well.
  4. Sear the chadolbachi beef with salt and pepper in a pan.
  5. Arrange the noodles, blanched vegetables, and grilled meat in a bowl neatly, then pour the sauce over and toss to enjoy.

Cooking tips 💡

  • The key tip is to prepare the special garlic sauce first during the cooking process and let it rest for a while—this allows the bold, pungent taste of raw garlic to blend smoothly into the sweet-and-tangy sauce.
  • If chadolbachi beef is unavailable, you can substitute with pork belly, thin-cut pork shoulder, or thinly sliced braising pork—it will still yield a delicious and satisfying dish.
