• 2.5 tbsp Granulated Sugar (balances acidity)
• 3 tbsp Rice Vinegar (adds bright acidity)
• 1 tbsp Sesame Oil (toasted flavor, use sparingly)
• 0.5 tbsp Garlic, minced (about 1.5 teaspoons, freshly minced)
• 5 tbsp Pineapple Juice (adds subtle sweetness and tang)
• 200 g Noodles (wheat ramen or spaghetti) (about 2 servings, break before cooking if long)
• 1 pinch Salt (enhances flavor)

Instructions

1. Make the Spicy Kimchi Sauce

   In a mixing bowl combine gochujang, gochugaru, sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, pineapple juice and a pinch of salt. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and uniform.

2. Boil the Noodles

   Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the noodles and cook for about 3 minutes, or until just al‑dente.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: 100°C

3. Rinse the Noodles

   Drain the noodles in a colander and rinse under cold running water for 30 seconds to stop cooking and remove excess starch.

   Time: PT2M

4. Boil the Eggs

   In a separate pot, bring water to a boil, lower the heat to a gentle simmer and add the eggs. Cook for 7 minutes for a soft‑centered yolk (or 10 minutes for fully hard‑boiled).

   Time: PT10M

   Temperature: 100°C

5. Cool and Slice Eggs

   Transfer the boiled eggs to an ice‑water bath for 2 minutes, then peel and slice them into halves or quarters.

   Time: PT3M

6. Assemble the Dish

   Divide the rinsed noodles between two serving bowls. Toss each portion with half of the prepared sauce, ensuring the noodles are evenly coated. Top with chopped kimchi, sliced egg, shredded nori and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds.
