Bibim myeon
Bibim myeon is a simple Korean dish that brings me many memories. I remember after school coming home practically starving and ready to eat anything but there’s just no food that’s cooked and ready to eat. Being laid back and lazy after school, I hated cooking but one glance at the instant noodles that read Bibim Myeon. I was ready to be a chef. For 10 minutes max.
I started by just grabbing a pot and filling it up with some hot water. Placed it on the stove and let it boil up. I ripped open the packaging and took out the crimson-red sauce packet. I then grabbed 1 egg and the noodles from the package and placed them into the boiling hot water. I waited for 5 minutes before taking out the egg and placing it into some cold ice water. I drained the noodles and let them cool for a bit before opening the sauce packet. I stirred the noodles and let them soak up the spicy tangy sauce. I cracked and peeled the egg from its shell and placed it onto my now blood-red noodles. Finally, I sat down in peace with my freshly cooked instant noodles and enjoyed a movie.
Great writing–clear and personable.
I’d like to hear more about your story/connection to the dish.
