Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Be careful not to exceed the 1-minute cooking time, as gochugaru can easily burn in the microwave.
  • For a smoother sauce, mix the peanut butter while the chili oil is still warm, before it cools down, so it dissolves easily without clumping.
  • For a bibim udon (mixed udon) style, boil frozen udon noodles, rinse them in cold water, drain well, and then mix with the sauce for an even better texture.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to make their own unique Tantanmen-style sauce that is both spicy and nutty.
  • Those who want to upgrade leftover dumplings, tofu, or eggplant into a unique dish.
  • Students living alone who want to create a cheat-sheet sauce with minimal stove use.
