   ▶ ≈0:36
4. 4
   Add a little water to the sauce and stir until it reaches a slightly watery consistency. This ensures the sauce coats the noodles evenly and prevents clumping.

5. 5
   Bring water to a boil. Form a circle with your thumb and index finger (about the size of a 500-won coin) to measure one serving of noodles (approximately 120g). Cook the noodles in boiling water for about 4 minutes until they are firm and bouncy. If the water threatens to boil over, add a little water and continue cooking.

6. 6
   Thoroughly rinse the cooked noodles in cold water multiple times and squeeze out as much water as possible. Remaining moisture will make the sauce bland and the noodles soggy.
