I LOVE noodles. I like rice too, but with Asian dishes I always go with noodles if I can. So…this noodle dish is based on Korean Bibimbap bowls, which are RICE bowls. I used a lot of the same veggies but the key is the Bibimbap Sauce.
The base of Bibimbap Sauce is Gochujang Paste, or red chili paste. It’s a sweet and spicy fermented condiment used a lot in Korean cooking. You should be able to find it in any grocery store in the Asian section.
THE NOODLES. I know, I know…I should be using rice noodles, and I have before. But since I am already altering the Bibimbap Bowls I’m just gonna continue down that road. Here’s the deal…I feel like the linguine noodles pull in the sauce better. I could be wrong, but ok.
So, start by cooking those noodles according to the package directions. Drain, rinse and set aside.
Prep all your veggies and start cooking!
