Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Mix flour with 0.5 tsp salt and cold water (about 0.75 cup) until a shaggy dough forms; knead 2 min until smooth.

  2. Step 2

    Slice zucchini and mushrooms into thin matchsticks. Chop scallions, keeping white and green parts separate.

  3. Step 3

    Bring 4 cups salted water to boil in a large shallow skillet or pot. Tear dough into 2-inch pieces and drop in.

  4. Step 4

    Add zucchini and mushrooms, stirring gently. Simmer 3 minutes until noodles float and veggies soften.

  5. Step 5

    Stir gochujang and sesame oil into the broth until dissolved. Crack eggs into the center and cover 2 minutes until whites set.

  6. Step 6

    Top with scallion greens. Serve immediately with a spoon and chopsticks, stirring everything together before eating.
