Step 1
Boil noodles in salted water until al dente, about 4 minutes. Drain, rinse under cold water, and set aside.
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.
Step 3
Julienne cucumber and carrot into thin matchsticks (or use a mandoline). Fry eggs sunny-side up in a separate skillet.
Step 4
Divide noodles between two bowls. Top each with cucumber, carrot, and a fried egg. Drizzle the sauce generously over top.
Step 5
Scatter crispy fried onions and 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds over each bowl. Mix vigorously before eating.
