Instructions
- 1
Mix the gochujang, white vinegar, corn syrup, sugar, and minced garlic. The sauce should be fiery, highly acidic, and sweet.
- 2
Boil the fresh jjolmyeon noodles in plenty of water for exactly 3-4 minutes. They are thicker and starchier than regular noodles, so stir often.
- 3
Drain the noodles and scrub them violently under running cold water until the water runs completely clear. This step is essential for their signature rubbery, chewy texture.
- 4
Place the drained noodles in a large mixing bowl. Add the blanched soybean sprouts, shredded cabbage, and julienned cucumber.
- 5
Pour the spicy-sweet-sour sauce over the top.
- 6
Using a plastic glove, vigorously mix the noodles, vegetables, and sauce by hand until everything is uniformly coated in bright red. Transfer to serving bowls and top with half a boiled egg.
