1
Prepare vegetables: thinly slice two green onions and cut half a cucumber into thin matchsticks (optional).
2
Grind about two tablespoons of toasted sesame seeds using a mortar and pestle (or crush in a ziplock bag with a rolling pin) to intensify the nutty flavor.
3
Mix the sauce in a small container: combine 3.5 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sugar, 2 tbsp toasted sesame oil, and 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar. Whisk until well blended.
4
Cook noodles: bring a pot of water to a boil and cook 200g of somyeon noodles according to package directions until tender.
5
Rinse the cooked noodles under cold running water to stop the cooking process, then rub them with your hands to remove excess starch. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and squeeze out any remaining water.
6
Pour the sauce over the noodles and toss well until the noodles are evenly coated. Taste and add more soy sauce if needed.
7
Divide noodles into serving bowls and top with cucumber matchsticks, sliced green onion, and ground sesame seeds. Optionally, crown with a crispy fried egg.
