- cucumber 1/3
- bean sprouts handful
- onion 1/4

Recipe 🍳
- Soak shirataki noodles in cold water at least 30 to 40 minutes before cooking to soften them.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Soak shirataki noodles in cold water for at least 30 minutes. Marinate sliced onion with vinegar, sugar, and salt.
- Mix minced garlic with soy sauce, water, mirin, vinegar, sugar, oyster sauce, red pepper powder, and sesame oil to make the sauce in advance.
- Slice the cucumber. Blanch the bean sprouts and soaked shirataki noodles separately in boiling water, then rinse under cold water and drain well.
- Sear the chadolbachi beef with salt and pepper in a pan.
- 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.
