Ingredients

• 2 packs instant ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets)
• 2 tbsp gochujang
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp honey(optional)
• 1 medium cucumber
• 1 tbsp sesame seeds
• 2 tbsp green onion(optional)

Instructions

1. 1

   Bring a pot of water to a boil. Cook the ramen noodles according to package directions (about 3–4 minutes), then drain.

2. 2

   Rinse the noodles under cold water until fully chilled, then drain well (this keeps the noodles from getting sticky).

3. 3

   In a large bowl, whisk gochujang, rice vinegar, sesame oil, soy sauce, and honey (if using) into a smooth sauce.

4. 4

   Toss the chilled noodles with the sauce until evenly coated. Add cucumber (cut into thin matchsticks or small pieces) and toss again.

5. 5

   Serve immediately, topped with sesame seeds and green onion (if using).
