Main Ingredients- 300g Konjac noodles (rinsed under cold water)
- 1/8 Cabbage (thinly shredded)
- 1/8 Onion (thinly shredded)
- 1 Egg
- A little Coriander (for garnish)
- A little sliced Beef jerky (for garnish, optional)
Seasoning Sauce- 2 Tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp Gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1.5 Tbsp Sugar (or alternative sweetener)
- 1 Tbsp Sesame oil
- 2 Tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp Gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1.5 Tbsp Sugar (or alternative sweetener)
- 1 Tbsp Sesame oil
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare all ingredients by measuring them out beforehand. Rinse the konjac noodles thoroughly under cold water and drain well.
Step 2
Wash the cabbage under running water, pat it dry, and then shred it as thinly as possible. Thinner shreds will result in a crispier and more tender texture.
Step 3
Crack the egg into a clean bowl, whisk it well, and add 1/8 tsp of salt. Mix thoroughly to eliminate any eggy smell and add a touch of seasoning.
Step 4
Lightly grease a preheated pan and pour in the whisked egg mixture to create a thin omelet. It’s best to make it not too thick.
Step 5
Once one side of the egg omelet appears softly cooked, carefully flip it using chopsticks or a spatula to cook the other side.
Step 6
After the cooked egg omelet has cooled slightly, fold it in half and slice it into very thin strips. Cutting them nicely will make for a more attractive garnish.
Step 7
In a bowl, combine all the seasoning sauce ingredients (soy sauce, gochujang, sugar, sesame oil) and stir well with a spoon to create the sauce. Using an alternative sweetener instead of sugar can make it even healthier.
Step 8
In a large mixing bowl or basin, add the drained konjac noodles, thinly shredded cabbage, shredded onion, and the prepared seasoning sauce.
Step 9
Wearing disposable gloves, gently mix all the ingredients together with the sauce using your hands. Be careful not to break the konjac noodles as you mix.
Step 10
Once all the ingredients are well combined with the sauce and look appetizing, you are almost done.
Step 11
Transfer the mixed konjac bibim naengmyeon to a serving bowl, arranging it nicely. Neatly placing the noodles can make it look more appealing.
Step 12
Finally, garnish the dish with the thinly sliced egg strips, coriander, and sliced beef jerky (if using) for a beautiful presentation. Your delicious, low-calorie konjac bibim naengmyeon is complete! Enjoy your meal!
