Perfect Summer with Cold Noodles - Korean Style

This cold noodles is really pleasing especially during hot hot summer ( one of the K-pop popular song...). It is really appetizing & easy to make as long as you have the ingredient available. Even my 7 years old enjoy this as much as I do. It is good that she is not a picky eater & she love to explore different cuisine.
The best things is it can be ready in 15 minutes. Simplicity make life easier.


Ingredients for 2 servings:
200g thin wheat noodle  (Korean style)
* you can use any other thin wheat noodle available, soba is also a good choice.
Method: Cook the noodles according to package instruction, run it through cool water, then finally run it through ice water. Drained.

The yummy sauces with vegetable:
Vegetables:
Cucumber thinly sliced
Carrot thinly sliced
Any greens salad leaves thinly sliced ( lettuce, cabbage or even alfalfa sprout)
Kimchi thinly sliced (optional)
Seaweed for decoration

Sweet & spicy yummy sauces:
2 tbsp gochujang
2 tbsp vinegar (prefer rice vinegar)
1 tbsp shoyu
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp sesame oil
some roasted sesame seed

Method: Just mix all the sauces together & pour on top of the noodles & vegetable.

Use your creativity with this sauces, add more gochujang if you you like spicy. Need a kick, you can add some garlic or chili powder. You like it less sweet, reduce the sugar.  You can add hard boiled eggs or any Korean pickle to make it more authentic.
