Ganjang Bibim Guksu (Soy Sauce Bibim Guksu). Delicious cold chewy noodles seasoned with a savory, sweet, tangy sauce with a hint of sesame. This cold noodle dish pairs well with a soft boiled egg and fresh crunchy cucumber. A quick 10-minute and easy summer dish that really hits the spot!

    Transfer boiled eggs to an ice bath to cool completely. Crack and peel them Slice them into half with a sharp paring knife. Set aside.
  • Slice cucumbers into thin match sticks and set aside. Note: There's no need to peel the cucumber.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame seeds, sesame oil, sugar, minced garlic and rice vinegar. Then mix in the cold noodles with tongs or clean hands.
  • Divide noodles between serving bowls. Place cucumber slices over top along with sliced eggs. Enjoy!
