I made it! Replaced noodles with yam noodles and left out sugar to make it more diet friendly. I should have made this in summer (I probably will make it again in the future when it gets warmer out) but it was delicious even in spring. Very simple and quick and it tastes delicious! Thank you Maangchi ❤️

Merhaba ben Yasin kore yemekleriyle uğraşıyorum sizin tariflerini büyük hayranlıkla takipesiyorum
Yeaahh, nice video. thanks for mentioning me. I will never forget this event.
The picture made me think this was bibim-naengmyeon, which is one of my favorite recipes of yours, but this is definitely a lot easier.
Wow, this was delicious and so easy! It’s my new favorite lunch.

It looks so tasty!
This spicy kimchi bibim-guksu is my all time favorite! I made it even yesterday for my lunch!
I tried your recipe and slightly modified it by adding more ingredients. I had left over julienned cucumber and carrot as well as omelette from the kimbap I made. I just cut the omelette into strips, and all these went into the bibim guksu. It’s quite delicious! Thank you!

Great!
I had a leftover oisobagi and a lot of juice, too much fermented to enjoy it as a banchan so I made bibimguksu with it, some julienned carrot, onion, some lettuce, one half-cooked egg sprinkled with sesame seeds and kimgaru. It was perfectly yummy
It sounds great!
Maangchi, I made it for the first time! But I don’t know why mine is too hot :( maybe it’s the kimchi I bought Couldn’t finish it. Too hot

Hi Maangchi! I have tried a couple of your recipes before and they have all been fantastic. I now live in Mazatlan, Mexico (from Canada) and it is difficult to find supplies here. I am also currently following the KETO diet which adds to the search. So, I’m trying this recipe tonight with bulgogi but using spaghetti squash in place of the noodles. I’ve substituted any sugars with Swerve brown sugar sweetener and Monk fruit sweetener. I didn’t have cucumber which my husband doesn’t like anyway and substituted with sliced red peppers. Well it all turned out really good. So good in fact it is now my favorite way to eat spaghetti squash. Definitely recommend for any of your followers who can’t eat regular noodles. Thank you so much for giving us these wonderful recipes!

Mummm !!! Faut aujourd’hui sans oeuf. Un régal! !!!!
I just had these noodles minus the cucumber (cause I didn’t have any) and the egg (cause I don’t eat eggs) but wow! It’s actually delicious for something so simple and easy to make. I used well fermented kimchi, at least two months old. And it’s really healthy too since there’s no frying involved, and you get all the nutrition from raw kimchi. Definitely a recipe to go back to
My homemade Bibimguksu…yummy..

Hello ! I lived now in a very hot place ( Saudi Arabia) and this cold noodles are fantastic for a hot day!
I don’t like hard boiled egg and I prepared fried tofu instead and went very delicious!
Thank you Maangchi!
And: my best friends here in KSA are Korean girls! They are like sisters for me!
I didn’t fancy it cold, so I heated up the sauce, to pour over hot freshly cooked noodles then added the eggs and cucumber on top, both cold cold. Delicious!
