Ingredients
12 ounces somyeon noodles (thin wheat noodles)
2 large eggs
1 cup red cabbage, thinly shredded
1/2 cucumber, julienned
1/2 carrot, julienned
Directions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the somyeon noodles and cook according to package directions until tender, approximately 3-4 minutes. Drain well and set aside in a large mixing bowl.
While the noodles cook, bring a small pot of water to a gentle boil. Carefully place the eggs into the water and cook for 6-7 minutes until the whites are fully set and the yolks reach a safe internal temperature of 160F. Transfer to an ice bath to cool slightly, then peel and halve.
Prepare the vegetables: thinly shred the red cabbage, julienne the cucumber into thin matchsticks, and julienne the carrot into thin matchsticks of similar size.
Add the shredded red cabbage, julienned cucumber, and julienned carrot to the bowl with the drained noodles.
Toss all ingredients together gently until well combined and evenly distributed.
Divide the mixed noodles and vegetables between two serving bowls. Top each portion with two halves of the cooked egg. Serve immediately while still warm.
Comments
Somyeon noodles are a specialty item requiring a trip to an Asian market—Food Lion and Harris Teeter do not stock them, and neither does ALDI or Walmart in most Charlotte locations. The remaining ingredients (egg, red cabbage, cucumber, carrot) are standard grocery-store finds, but the noodle hunt adds friction to a weeknight. The stated 25 minutes assumes the noodles and gochujang sauce are already mixed; actual time including boiling noodles, shredding vegetables, and cooking the egg runs closer to 35 minutes. This is a same-night dish with no leftovers value, as mixed noodles turn gummy when refrigerated. Cost per serving is modest—perhaps $2.50 to $3.50 once you've sourced the noodles—but the first-time Asian market stop is a real commitment.
