Elevate Your BBQ with This Easy Bibimmyeon Recipe

There are so many different types of bibimmyeon (Korean mixed noodles), but today I’m sharing a super easy homemade version that pairs perfectly with Korean BBQ.

Sure, you can buy pre-made bibimmyeon or even ready-made sauce, but I was craving a fresh and generous serving using noodles I had at home.

  • Gochujang (Korean red pepper paste) - 1.5 tbsp
  • Soy sauce - 1 tbsp
  • Sugar - 1 tbsp

How to Make It

  1. Boil the somen noodles—cook as much as you’d like!

  1. In a bowl, mix all the sauce ingredients together until the sugar is fully dissolved. (Feel free to adjust sugar or vinegar based on your taste.)

  2. Once the noodles are cooked, drain them and rinse several times with cold water until they’re super cold. This step makes the bibimmyeon extra delicious!
