Spicy Noodles with Vegetables

by MJ

Spicy Cold Noodles (Bibim guksu) is a popular noodle dish with fresh vegetables. It’s spicy, refreshing, sweet and tangy all in one bowl!

The sauce will last a couple of weeks in the fridge so make some extra to have on hand for a quick noodle dish anytime.  

For the vegetables, I added red cabbage, cucumber, carrot, red cabbage and radish for different colors. but you can add kimchi, lettuce or any of your favorite vegetables.

This dish is usually made with buckwheat (soba) noodles or thin wheat noodles (somen) but use any noodles you have available.
