Step-by-Step Instructions for Bibim Guksu
- In a medium bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of gochujang, 1 tablespoon of gochugaru, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar, minced garlic, and honey to taste. Whisk the mixture vigorously for about 2 minutes until it's well blended and smooth. Set the bowl aside.
- Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add 200 grams of somyeon noodles and cook according to package instructions for about 4-5 minutes. Drain the noodles and rinse under cold water to cool them down.
- Add the cold somyeon noodles to the sauce. Toss the noodles with the sauce for about 1-2 minutes, ensuring every strand is evenly coated.
- Thinly slice half a cucumber and prepare a soft-boiled egg if desired. Cook the egg for 6-7 minutes in boiling water and transfer to ice water to halt cooking.
- Divide the Bibim Guksu among serving bowls. Top with sliced cucumber, halved soft-boiled egg, and toasted sesame seeds. Add kimchi if desired. Serve cold.

Notes
For the best texture, keep the noodles and sauce separate until ready to serve. Adjust spice levels according to personal taste.
