RJIE: Bibim men

There's a giant Hanaro Mart near my butcher in Underwood so I've been having a lot of fun lately buying different Korean groceries and learning new recipes. This is one of the instant noodles that I found to be especially delicious, it's called Bibim men! I 100% picked these noodles because the name is also in Vietnamese, it translates to Korean style dry noodles.



It just consists of a noodle block and a thick red soup paste.


Cook the noodles. Drain off the cooking liquid and run cold water through the noodles until cool.


Add the sauce and mix liberally!


It's an interesting mixture of sweet/sour and spicy flavoured noodles! It's quite balanced and I like having it as a side to a steak or some stir fried veggies. I highly recommend it, the flavour reminds me a lot of a mixture between a sweet gochujang and vinegar mixture. The noodles themselves are quite pale once cooked and have the texture of a thick vermicelli. Mama Pham had a packet of these noodles and thought they were good as well.

  1. Hi. Just to let you know Bi-bim-men stands for Mixed and Stirred noodle. The word Bibim means to stir (where there is a mixture of salads, meat, rice, noodle etc; optional choice). I am originalyl from Korea by the way.
