What is kimchi and what does it have to do with noodles?

Kimchi is a traditional Korean dish made of fermented vegetables, typically cabbage. It is often spicy and tangy, and makes an excellent addition to any noodle dish.

In this recipe, we’ve used kimchi as a topping for our noodles, but feel free to add it to any other dishes you like. We think it goes particularly well with ramen or udon noodles.

How to make your Kimchi Noodle Bowl at Home

There are a few different ways to prepare the noodles and kimchi for this dish. The most basic way is to simply boil the noodles and mix them with the kimchi.

The first step is to cook the noodles. We like to use brown rice noodles for this dish, but you can use any type of pasta you like. Once the noodles are cooked, drain them and set them aside.

Next, it’s time to prepare the kimchi. If you’re using store-bought kimchi, simply drain it and chop it up into bite-sized pieces. If you’re making your own kimchi, follow our kimchi recipe.

Once the kimchi is ready, it’s time to assemble the bowls. Divide the noodles evenly among bowls, and top with kimchi, scallions, and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

If you want a more authentic flavor, you can fry the noodles in sesame oil before adding the kimchi. Whichever way you choose to prepare the noodles and kimchi, this dish is sure to be a hit! So why not give it a try today?

How does the kimchi sauce make this dish so delicious?

The kimchi sauce in this dish is what makes it so delicious. It is a perfect blend of sweet and spicy, and the kimchi gives the noodles a great crunch.

How to make kimchi sauce?

To make kimchi sauce, simply combine kimchi, gochujang, honey, and sesame oil in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.

What is gochujang?

Gochujang is a Korean chili paste that is made with red chili peppers, glutinous rice, fermented soybeans, and salt. It is typically used as a condiment or seasoning, and it adds a beautiful deep red color to dishes. In a way it is a bit similar to the Mexican achiote paste.
