Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s start with the ‘Spicy & Sweet Bibim Guksu’ sauce! In a large bowl, combine 2 Tbsp Gochujang, 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic, 2 Tbsp sweet Maesilcheong, 1/2 Tbsp savory Matganjang, 1 Tbsp cooking syrup, 1 Tbsp sesame oil, 1/2 Tbsp sugar, and 2 Tbsp vinegar. For an optional touch, add a little crushed peanuts for texture. Mix everything together thoroughly until well combined. Your delicious bibim guksu sauce is ready!
Step 2
Next, we’ll make the ‘Clean & Savory Janchi Guksu’ sauce. In a pot, add 3 Tbsp Jin Ganjang, 1/2 Tbsp Gochugaru for a hint of spice, and 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic. Add 1/3 stalk of finely chopped green onion and 1 chopped Cheongyang chili pepper for a pleasant kick. Finish with 1/2 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds. Stir everything together well. This simple yet flavorful sauce is perfect for Janchi Guksu! (Tip: For an even richer flavor, consider using anchovy broth made by boiling anchovies, dried kelp, and dried shiitake mushrooms in a 1:1:1 ratio. The broth will be bursting with umami! A detailed recipe for anchovy broth will be uploaded soon.)
Step 3
Now, let’s prepare the ‘Tangy & Sweet Soy Sauce Bibim Guksu’ sauce. Start with 3 Tbsp Jin Ganjang. Add 1/2 Tbsp Gochugaru for a mild spiciness and 1 chopped Cheongyang chili pepper. For tanginess, add 1 Tbsp vinegar, and for sweetness, 1 Tbsp cooking syrup (or rice syrup). Finally, stir in 1 Tbsp sesame oil. Mix everything well until you have a perfectly balanced, addictive soy sauce-based bibim guksu sauce.
Step 4
Let’s make the cool and refreshing ‘Cucumber Cold Noodle’ sauce. First, thinly julienne 1 cucumber, 1/4 onion, and 50g carrot. In a bowl, combine 1 Tbsp Jin Ganjang, 1 Tbsp Gochugaru, 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic, 1 Tbsp Maesilcheong for sweetness, 1 chopped Cheongyang chili pepper for heat, 1 Tbsp vinegar for tang, and 1 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds. (Tip: If you don’t have Maesilcheong, you can substitute it with 1 Tbsp sugar and increase the vinegar to 0.5 Tbsp.) Mix all the ingredients well. Combine this sauce with your julienned vegetables and chilled broth (store-bought cold noodle broth is recommended) for a wonderfully refreshing cucumber cold noodle dish!
Step 5
Finally, we’ll prepare the ‘Chilled Kimchi Noodle Soup’ sauce. First, let’s make the seasoned kimchi. In a bowl, combine 100g finely chopped kimchi with 1/2 Tbsp sugar, 1/3 Tbsp minced garlic, and 1/2 Tbsp sesame oil. Mix them together well to create a delicious seasoned kimchi. For the broth base, mix 1 packet of store-bought cold noodle soup broth with 3 Tbsp kimchi juice and 1/2 Tbsp sugar (or cooking syrup) for sweetness. (Tip: If cooking syrup doesn’t dissolve well, using sugar is a good alternative.) Assemble your kimchi noodle soup by placing the seasoned kimchi and broth in a bowl, and generously add ice. This will create an incredibly satisfying bowl of kimchi noodle soup that will surely refresh you on a hot day!
