Kimchi Bibim Guksu 

(Spicy Cold Noodles with Kimchi)

Kimchi Bibim Guksu

Kimchi Bibim-Guksu or Kimchi spicy noodles, is a cold noodle dish made with very thin wheat flour noodles called somyeon with the addition of seasonings and kimchi. It's definitely one of the most popular traditional noodle dishes in Korea and is especially popular during the hot summer.

 What makes this dish so unique from other cold noodle dishes is the strong spicy flavor and the combination of red pepper powder, gochujang, along with the sweet and sour flavor from vinegar and sugar. Most spicy cold noodles are prepared with the addition of sesame oil to enhance the flavor. 

Typically, Kimchi bibim-guksu contains Kimchi, julienned cucumbers, soy sauce, red pepper paste, vinegar, sesame oil, sesame seeds, and sugar.  Lastly, there is a garnish placed on top and around the spicy noodles made using hard boiled eggs, and sliced cucumbers.
