Ingredients
  

For the Gochujang Spiced Broth

  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger peeled and minced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced or crushed
  • 3 scallions sliced thin with the white and green parts separated
  • 1 quart low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 1/4 cup tamari
  • 1 tbsp gochujang

For the Sweet & Sour Salad

  • 1 tbsp gochujang
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 carrot washed and spiralized (or julienned)
  • 1 English cucumber washed and spiralized (or julienned)
  • 1/2 head purple cabbage sliced thin

For Putting the Bibim Guksa Bowls Together

  • 1 pkg Lotus Foods' Millet and Brown Rice Ramen Noodles There are 4 "bricks" per package - plan one 1 brick per person
  • 1 cup kimchi plan on a 1/4 cup per bowl. I like Wild Brine's Korean Kimchi
  • sesame seeds
  • scallions greens slice these on the diagonal for great presentation

Instructions
 

Making the Broth

  • Heat up the sesame oil in a large stock pot. When hot, add the fresh ginger, garlic and scallions. Sauté briefly, being careful not to burn. 
  • Add the vegetable broth, soy sauce and gochujang sauce. Allow to simmer while you prepare the other ingredients. 

Making the Sweet & Sour Salad

  • Spiralize or julienne the carrot and the English cucumber. Thin slice the purple cabbage. Combine in a medium-sized glass bowl and set aside. 
  • Prepare the dressing by combining the gochujang, rice vinegar, soy sauce, maple syrup and sesame oil. Stir until well-combined and toss with the vegetables.

Putting the Brothy Bibim Guksa Bowls Together

  • Prepare the Lotus Foods’ Millet and Brown Rice Noodles in accordance with package directions. I like them to be al dente so that they stay pleasantly chewy in the broth. 
  • Add the prepared noodles to the bottom of your noodle bowls, ladle to hot broth over the noodles and top with the sweet and sour vegetable salad. Finish with a small spoonful of kimchi, sesame seeds and scallion greens.
