Bibim Guksu (Soba and Kimchi Salad)

While I was looking for recipes with kimchi I came across My Korean Kitchen which is a great site with a lot of good looking Korean recipes. The first dish that caught my attention was this one for soba and kimchi salad. This salad is really good! I have already had it twice! The noodles in the salad are served cold and the kimchi and the dressing add a spicy heat making this a perfect summer dish. The salad has a nice mixture of textures from the soft and chewy noodles to the crisp and crunchy carrots and cucumbers.

Ingredients:
1 serving soba noodles
2 leaves of lettuce (thinly sliced)
1 leaf of red cabbage (thinly sliced)
2 inches of cucumber (julienned)
2 inches of carrot (julienned)
1 tablespoon kimchi
1 tablespoon gochujang dressing
1 teaspoon sesame seeds (toasted)

Directions:
1. Cook the soba noodles.
2. Rinse the soba noodles under cold water until the noodles are cool.
3. Place the noodles in a bowl.
4. Add the lettuce, cabbage, cucumber, carrots and kimchi to the bowl.
5. Pour the dressing on the salad.
