Main Ingredients- 50g Glass Noodles (approx. 1 serving)
- 100g Well-fermented Kimchi
- 1/2 Fresh Cucumber
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Soak the glass noodles in cold water for about 30 minutes until they are fully softened. This step ensures the noodles will be perfectly chewy after cooking.
Step 2
Finely chop the kimchi. Cutting it into manageable pieces will help it integrate better with the noodles and sauce.
Step 3
Remove the seeds from the cucumber. You can either peel it or leave the skin on, then slice it into thin julienne strips. The fresh cucumber will add a delightful crunch.
Step 4
In a pot, combine the soaked glass noodles, chopped kimchi, 300ml of water, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Bring this mixture to a boil over high heat.
Step 5
Once the mixture begins to boil, reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer gently for 4 to 5 minutes, allowing the noodles to absorb the flavorful sauce.
Step 6
Turn off the heat. Stir in 1 tablespoon of sesame oil for a fragrant finish. Mix everything well. Serve the delicious soy-glazed glass noodles, optionally garnished with the julienned cucumber.
