Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Boil noodles in salted water until al dente, about 5 minutes. Drain, rinse under cold water until chilled, and set aside.

  2. Step 2

    Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high. Add ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon, until no pink remains, about 4 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Stir in gochujang and rice vinegar until beef is fully coated. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  4. Step 4

    In the same skillet, crack eggs into two separate spots. Cook over medium heat until whites set but yolks still jiggle, about 2 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Divide chilled noodles between two bowls. Top with gochujang beef, cucumber, and one egg per bowl.

  6. Step 6

    Sprinkle sesame seeds over top. Serve immediately and stir everything together before eating.
