step-by-step

instructions

Cook Along

1 Prepare the ingredients & make the sauce

Fill a medium pot 3/4 of the way up with salted water; cover and heat to boiling on high. Wash and dry the bok choy; cut off and discard the root ends, then roughly chop. Roughly chop the kimchi. In a bowl, combine the soy glaze, vinegar, 1/4 cup of warm water, and as much of the gochujang as you'd like, depending on how spicy you'd like the dish to be. Whisk to combine.

2 Cook the eggs

Carefully add the eggs to the pot of boiling water and cook 7 minutes for soft-boiled, or until your desired degree of doneness. Leaving the pot of water boiling, using a slotted spoon or tongs, transfer the eggs to a strainer and rinse under cold water 30 seconds to 1 minute to stop the cooking process. When cool enough to handle, carefully peel the cooked eggs. Season with salt and pepper.

3 Cook the vegetables

In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the chopped kimchi and chopped bok choy. Cook, stirring frequently, 3 to 4 minutes, or until softened. Turn off the heat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.

4 Cook the noodles

Meanwhile, add the noodles to the pot of boiling water, stirring gently to separate. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 4 minutes, or until tender. Turn off the heat. Drain thoroughly and rinse under warm water 30 seconds to 1 minute to prevent sticking.

5 Finish the noodles & serve your dish

To the pan, add the cooked noodles and sauce (carefully, as the liquid may splatter); season with salt and pepper. Cook on medium-high, stirring constantly, 1 to 2 minutes, or until combined and the noodles are thoroughly coated. Turn off the heat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Serve the finished noodles topped with the seasoned eggs. Garnish with the sesame seeds. Enjoy!
