Korean-Style Kimchi Noodles

Korean-Style Kimchi Noodles

Servings: 2

Ingredients:

• Noodles of your choice
• 2 packets of radish kimchi soup base
• 6 tablespoons of red kimchi soup seasoning
• 4 tablespoons of finely chopped kimchi
• Cucumber, thinly sliced
• 1 boiled egg, halved
• Cheongyang chili pepper (or any spicy chili pepper), sliced (optional)

For the Kimchi Mix:

• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• Red pepper powder (optional)

Preparation:

1. Prepare the kimchi soup by mixing 6 tablespoons of the red kimchi soup seasoning with the radish kimchi soup base in a pot. Warm it up over medium heat but do not bring it to a boil.
2. Cook the noodles according to the package instructions, then drain and rinse them under cold water to cool them down. This stops the cooking process and keeps the noodles firm.
3. In a separate bowl, mix the chopped kimchi with sesame oil, sesame seeds, and a bit of red pepper powder if you like it spicy.
4. Place the cooled noodles into serving bowls.
5. Pour the prepared kimchi soup over the noodles.
6. Top the noodles with the seasoned kimchi, cucumber slices, a slice of the Cheongyang chili pepper if using, and a half of the boiled egg.

Tips:

• The radish kimchi soup base typically has a tangy and slightly sweet flavor which pairs well with the spiciness of the kimchi.
• You can adjust the level of spiciness to your preference by adding more or less red pepper powder or chili pepper.
• Serve immediately to enjoy the refreshing and zesty flavors, perfect for a summer meal.

Enjoy your cooling and spicy Korean-style kimchi noodles!
