Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add flour 1/4 cup at a time, stirring until dough forms, ~2 minutes.
Step 2
Tear dough into 2–3-inch pieces directly into boiling water. Cook until they float, then 2 more minutes, ~5 minutes total.
Step 3
Drain noodles and rinse under ice-cold running water until completely chilled, ~1 minute.
Step 4
Whisk gochujang, sesame oil, rice vinegar, 2 tbsp ice water, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl until smooth.
Step 5
Bring a separate small pot of water to boil. Gently slide eggs in and cook until soft-boiled, 6–7 minutes, then ice-bath.
Step 6
Toss chilled noodles with sauce, cucumber, and carrot. Top with soft-boiled eggs and garnish with sesame seeds and scallions.
