Ingredients
- 1 pack buldak noodles
- 1 small carrot , julienne
- ⅓ cucumber , julienne
- 40 g cabbage , julienne
- 85 g canned tuna

- 1 egg
sauce:
- ½ buldak noodles spicy sauce packet
- 1 tsp sugar
- ½ tsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp mirin
- 1 tsp rice vinegar
- ½ tsp sesame oil

Instructions
- Prepare the sauce – Mix all the sauce ingredients together.

- Julienne carrot, cucumbe and cabbage.
- Cook an egg. Once cooked, place the egg in cold water with ice to stop the cooking process (Note 1).
- Cook the noodles – Follow the package instructions and cook the noodles for 5 minutes.
- Once cooked, rinse the noodles in cold water and place them in a bowl of ice water to chill them further.
- Assemble the dish – Mix the noodles with the sauce. If it’s too spicy, you can adjust the sauce to your liking by adding less (Note 2). Place the cold noodles in a bowl, then garnish with tuna, cucumber, carrot, cabbage, and place the egg on top.
- Garnish – Sprinkle the sesame seeds and seaweed from the buldak noodles pack on top.
Notes
1. Egg cooking time – For medium-sized eggs, I usually cook them for 6.5 minutes to achieve a yolk that’s slightly runny inside. If you prefer your eggs well done, cook them for 7-8 minutes.
2. Sauce –This recipe is easily adjustable. Add more or less sauce to increase or decrease the spiciness of your noodles.
