Cheso Bibimramyon (Spicy & Sour Vegetable Instant Noodles)

Bibimrayon (mixed instant noodles) is a variation of bibimguksu (mixed noodles), a summer’s favorite. It’s spicy, sour and crunchy. 

I haven’t had ramyon for several years and I don’t intend to recommend anyone to consume the much sought-after instant food. Nonetheless, if you must have it, I encourage you to cook with fresh ingredients. 

Ingredients

Serves 1

1 block instant noodle

400ml water

100ml julienned cucumber

50ml chopped kimchi

50ml julienned carrot

2 teaspoons gochujang (red pepper paste)

1 teaspoon soy sauce

3 teaspoon vinegar (preferably brown rice)

2 teaspoons honey

2 teaspoons sesame oil or olive oil

Directions

1. Put instant noodles in boiling water and take off the heat after about two minutes or until noodles are cooked al dente.

2. Rinse noodles with cold water about three times and drain in a strainer.

3. Mix gochujang, vinegar, soy sauce, honey and sesame oil, in a sauce bowl.

4. Combine cooked noodles with cucumber, carrot, kimchi and red pepper sauce.

5. Serve cold.
