A Singaporean Mum

When the weather gets warm or I’m craving something light yet flavourful, Bibim Guksu is always my go-to. It’s a refreshing Korean cold noodle dish tossed in a sweet, tangy, and slightly spicy sauce that instantly wakes up your taste buds.

What I love most is how quick and versatile it is—you can prepare it in under 20 minutes and pair it with any protein you like — I love it with soft boiled eggs and sliced bossam!

It’s the perfect balance of spicy, savoury, and refreshing—like summer in a bowl!

Here’s how I do it!
