1 tsp Ottogi sesame oil (more to taste)

Directions
For the noodles and egg: Boil a pot of water to cook noodles in. Follow directions on the noodle package and cook noodles for 2-3 minutes. Then rinse 3~4 times in cold water. Drain. Note, rinsing in cold water prevents the noodles from sticking too much and also makes them chewy.
Cook hard boiled eggs. Peel and cut into 1/2. 1/2 egg will be used for each bowl.
For the sauce: Clean and peel onion, garlic and apples. Cut onion and apples into smaller chunks to fit into your blender or chopper.
Chop or blend until smooth. If you don't have a chopper, just grate all of them.
To the chopped or grated onion+apple+garlic mix from 3, add vinegar, soy sauces, gochujang, sugar, honey, gochukaru (Korean red chili powder) and sesame oil. Mix and set aside or keep in the fridge for later.
Vegetable toppings: Rinse the following: cabbage, spring mix and/or red leaf lettuce.
Cut cabbage (finely) and lettuce.
Assemble a bowl with noodles then arrange cut vegetables on top. Add bibim sauce and 1/2 an egg on top. Finish with sesame seeds and a swirl of sesame oil.
