This is the recipe you must try this summertime if you love kimchi, noodle, and having fun in the kitchen!
Are you ready to having fun? Let’s get started!

Bring a pot of water to boil and cook noodles thoroughly by following the directions of the package you’re using. Make sure to cook thoroughly, not al dente, for this recipe.

Meanwhile, let’s make kimchi sauce. Combine 1 1/2 cup chopped kimchi –  make sure to use well-fermented vegan kimchi. 1 tbsp Gochugaru, 2 tbsp raw or coconut sugar, 3 tbsp gochujang, 2 to 3 tbsp vinegar (adjust the amount of vinegar on how sour your kimchi is), 1 tbsp yondu (Korean fermented vegetable sauce), 1 tbsp maesialaek (Korean fermented green plum extract. You can substitute with apple juice), 2 tbsp sesame seeds, and 1 tbsp sesame oil in a large mixing bowl. Mix well.

Julienne 1/2 of cucumber to add crunch and refreshing bite to the noodles.

Drain cooked noodles in a strainer and rinse under running cold water. This way, we can get rid of excess starch. Drain thoroughly.

Add drained noodles into the kimchi sauce mixture. Mix well with your hand. I did with my bare hand because I’m a pro! 😜But when you do, make sure to wear a glove, your hand will be spicy and red!

Top with the julienned cucumber, extra sesame seeds, and sesame oil.
Enjoy!
