Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Boil salted water in a large pot. Add noodles and cook until al dente, stirring occasionally, about 4–5 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Meanwhile, whisk together gochujang, chili oil, and rice vinegar in a small bowl until smooth.

  3. Step 3

    Bring a separate small pot of water to a boil. Gently add eggs and cook for 6–7 minutes until soft-boiled.

  4. Step 4

    Drain noodles well. Slice cucumber into thin rounds or matchsticks.

  5. Step 5

    Transfer noodles to a bowl. Toss with the gochujang sauce until evenly coated.

  6. Step 6

    Top with cucumber, halved soft-boiled egg, and sesame seeds. Serve immediately while noodles are still warm.
