Bibim Guksu 비빔국수 (Korean Spicy Mixed Cold Noodle)
The weather is quite hot recently.... hubby and I do not have much appetide so I decided to make this simple spicy and sourish mixed cold noodle today :)Bibim guksu is quite a fast dish to prepare, the ingredients are simple and it's full of green leaves too which is a healthy choice! Usually the type of veggie used in this dish is cucumber but I have a bunch of salad leaves in my fridge so I use salad leaves. Any veggie leaves that gives a crunch texture will goes well with this noodle. ^^
