Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Bring a pot of salted water to boil. Add noodles and cook until just tender, 4–5 minutes.

    While noodles cook, bring a second pot of water to boil. Gently lower eggs and cook 6 minutes for soft yolk.

  3. Step 3

    Whisk gochujang and sesame oil together in a small bowl. Add 2 tbsp cold water and stir until smooth.

  4. Step 4

    Drain noodles and rinse under ice-cold water until chilled. Transfer to a serving bowl.

  5. Step 5

    Julienne cucumber and carrot into thin matchsticks. Add to the noodles along with the gochujang sauce.

    Toss noodles and vegetables until coated. Peel and halve soft-boiled eggs, nestle on top, and serve immediately.
