I went to the traditional market to buy side dishes after a long time, and seeing the pork cutlet frying looked so delicious that I bought it. I was wondering what kind of food would go well with it, but I thought it would be good with bibim guksu, so I made a simple bibim guksu. Ingredients 1/2 Onion 1 Cheongyang chili pepper (Korean green chili) 1 Cabbage leaf 1/5 Carrot 1 Cucumber Somyeon (Thin wheat noodles) Sauce Ratio 1 tbsp Chili powder (Gochugaru) 2 tbsp Chili paste (Gochujang) 2 tbsp Vinegar 1 tbsp Sesame oil 1 tbsp Sugar 2 tbsp Soy sauce 1/2 tbsp Minced garlic The sauce might taste a bit bland or salty depending on the amount of noodles you use, so please adjust it to your own taste. This isn’t a professional recipe, but I’m sharing the ingredients in case anyone is curious. In my experience, boiling the noodles for about 3 to 4 minutes is just right. submitted by /u/Joe_from_Korea |
