Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon chili flakes (adjust to taste)
- 4 cups vegetable broth (halal)
- 1 tablespoon white miso paste
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 200g sweet potato glass noodles (dangmyeon)
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (shiitake or button)
- 1 cup baby bok choy or spinach
- 1/2 cup corn kernels
- 1 soft-boiled egg (optional)
- Chopped scallions, sesame seeds, chili oil
Instructions
- Heat sesame oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
- Add minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Stir in gochujang, soy sauce, vinegar, chili flakes, and brown sugar.
- Pour in vegetable broth and whisk to combine. Simmer on low heat for 10 minutes.
- Stir in miso paste at the end without boiling.
- Bring a separate pot of water to a boil. Add potato noodles and cook for 6–8 minutes until chewy. Drain and rinse under cold water.
- Add mushrooms and bok choy to the simmering broth. Cook for 3–5 minutes. Add corn.
- If using eggs, boil for 6 minutes, then cool in ice water and peel.
- Place cooked noodles in serving bowls. Ladle hot broth and veggies over them.
- Top with halved egg, scallions, sesame seeds, and chili oil.
Notes
To reduce heat, cut gochujang to 1 tablespoon and skip chili flakes. Always rinse noodles after boiling to keep them chewy. Use full-bodied broth and miso for depth. Store broth and noodles separately. Reheat by warming broth and dropping in noodles before serving.
