Spicy cold Kimchi noodles recipe - This is a perfect summer time dish. Bring your lost appetite back with these spicy cold Korean noodles! | MyKoreanKitchen.com

There’s no better way to beat the hot summer weather than having some addictively spicy Korean noodles! Do you agree with me?

There are many ways you can create spicy Korean noodles (e.g. Cucumber soba noodles, Jjolmyeon (spicy chewy noodles), Bibim guksu etc.) and I think today’s spicy cold kimchi noodles (Kimchi Bibim-guksu, 김치 비빔국수) will become your new favorite as well.

As you can imagine from the title, it’s loaded with kimchi! (But not too much 🙂 ) More specifically aged kimchi – at least 2 to 3 weeks old. If the kimchi is too fresh, it won’t bring out the desired depth of flavor you need for this.

It’s quick and easy to create as well. I hope you enjoy my recipe and give it a try soon!
