Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

  • thin wheat noodles for 2 servings (size of two 500 won coins)
  • sesame oil 3 tablespoons
  • delicious seasoning sauce 4 tablespoons
  • cucumber 1/2
  • old kimchi (rinsed) 2–3 pieces
  • green onion 1/3 stalk
  • seaweed 1 sheet (or appropriate amount of crushed seaweed flakes)
  • whole sesame seeds 2 tablespoons
  • boiled egg 1

Recipe 🍳

  1. Slice the cucumber thinly, and finely chop the rinsed old kimchi. Finely mince the green onion.
  2. Place the seaweed in a ziplock bag and rub it to create fine seaweed flakes.
  3. Boil thin wheat noodles in water. After it starts boiling, add cold water 1/3 cup at a time, repeating this process three times to achieve firm, chewy noodles.
  4. Rinse the cooked noodles under cold water and thoroughly squeeze out all excess moisture.
  5. Transfer the noodles to a bowl and add 3 tablespoons of sesame oil, mixing well to evenly coat the noodles.
  6. Add 4 tablespoons of delicious seasoning sauce and mix thoroughly. Then add the minced green onion and crushed whole sesame seeds, and mix once more.
  7. Serve the noodles in a bowl and top with sliced cucumber, old kimchi, seaweed flakes, and boiled egg.
  1. Slice cucumber and rinsed old kimchi; finely chop green onion.
  2. Boil the noodles, rinse under cold water, and squeeze out all moisture.
  3. Coat the cooked noodles with sesame oil first.
  4. Add the delicious seasoning sauce, green onion, and sesame seeds; mix well.
  5. Serve in a bowl and garnish with cucumber, kimchi, seaweed flakes, and boiled egg.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Do not add salt when boiling the noodles, as it raises the boiling temperature too much and can ruin the noodle texture. Use plain water instead.
  • Coating the noodles with sesame oil before adding the seasoning sauce prevents them from becoming soggy or sticking together.
  • Rinse the old kimchi thoroughly with water before use, as leftover chili powder may overpower the clean, savory flavor of the sesame oil noodles.
