Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 tbsp gochujang (Korean red chili paste)
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 medium zucchini
  • 4 oz shiitake mushrooms
  • 2 whole scallions
  • 2 whole eggs

Instructions

  1. 1

    Mix flour with 0.5 tsp salt and cold water (about 0.75 cup) until a shaggy dough forms; knead 2 min until smooth.

  2. 2

    Slice zucchini and mushrooms into thin matchsticks. Chop scallions, keeping white and green parts separate.

  3. 3

    Bring 4 cups salted water to boil in a large shallow skillet or pot. Tear dough into 2-inch pieces and drop in.

    Add zucchini and mushrooms, stirring gently. Simmer 3 minutes until noodles float and veggies soften.

  5. 5

    Stir gochujang and sesame oil into the broth until dissolved. Crack eggs into the center and cover 2 minutes until whites set.

  6. 6

    Top with scallion greens. Serve immediately with a spoon and chopsticks, stirring everything together before eating.
