Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Boil noodles in salted water until al dente, about 4 minutes. Drain, rinse under cold water, and set aside.

  2. Step 2

    Whisk gochujang, sesame oil, 2 tbsp cold water, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp sugar, and 1 minced garlic clove into a smooth sauce.

  3. Step 3

    Julienne cucumber and carrot into thin matchsticks (or use a mandoline). Fry eggs sunny-side up in a separate skillet.

  4. Step 4

    Divide noodles between two bowls. Top each with cucumber, carrot, and a fried egg. Drizzle the sauce generously over top.

  5. Step 5

    Scatter crispy fried onions and 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds over each bowl. Mix vigorously before eating.
