Ingredients needed 🛒1 servings
- 1 serving buckwheat noodles
- 1 tbsp gochujang
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp gochugaru
- 1 tbsp vinegar
- a little mild mustard
- 1/4 cup lemon-lime soda
- 3-4 lettuce leaves
- an appropriate amount of crushed seaweed
- 1 boiled egg
- a little sesame seeds
Recipe 🍳
- In a bowl, add 1 tbsp gochujang, 1 tbsp sugar, 1 tbsp gochugaru, 1 tbsp vinegar, and a little mild mustard according to the measurements.
- Pour 1/4 cup lemon-lime soda over the seasonings and mix well until the sugar and gochujang are completely dissolved to make the sauce.
- Bring a generous amount of water to a boil in a pot, add the buckwheat noodles, and cook according to the time on the package instructions.
- While the noodles are boiling, add a little cold water a few times (2-3 times) to make the noodles more chewy and elastic.
- Once cooked, immediately rinse the noodles in cold or ice water, rubbing them to remove excess starch, and drain.
- Tear 3-4 lettuce leaves by hand and place them on the bottom of a mixing bowl.
- Place the drained buckwheat noodles on top of the lettuce and generously pour the prepared moist sauce over them.
- Top with crushed seaweed and a boiled egg cut in half, then sprinkle crushed sesame seeds for a nutty finish.
- Mix gochujang, sugar, gochugaru, vinegar, and mild mustard with lemon-lime soda to make the bibim sauce.
- Cook the buckwheat noodles until chewy, then rinse thoroughly in cold water and drain completely.
- Place lettuce and noodles in a bowl, top with the sauce, crushed seaweed, egg, and sesame seeds, and toss lightly.
Cooking tips 💡
- Lemon-lime soda contains sweetness and unique spice notes, which create a deep savory flavor without having to blend in other vegetables.
- If you don't have buckwheat noodles, you can use other noodles you have at home, such as somyeon, jungmyeon, or even ramen noodles.
- The sauce is on the thinner side, moist, so the vegetables and noodles mix smoothly without clumping.
