   Spicy cold noodle with pork belly (Bibim-guksu)

   Ingredients
   100g somyeon (thin wheat noodles)
   1 cup cold water
   100g thinly sliced pork belly
   1/2 chamoe (Korean melon)
   10g minari (water parsley)
   1 lemon
   Salt
   Pepper

   ( For the sauce )
   85g gochujang (Korean chili paste)
   60g corn syrup
   41g juice of 1 lemon (zest from 1/2 lemon)
   10g gochugaru (Korean chili flakes)
   10g dark brown sugar
   10g soy sauce

   Instructions
   1. Cut the chamoe in half lengthwise, remove the seeds, and slice it thinly.
   2. Wash the minari, cut off the ends, and cut into 1.5-inch lengths.
   3. Zest half a lemon and then juice it.
   4. Prepare the sauce: mix all the ingredients together well.
   5. Boil water in a pot, add the somyeon, and when it starts to boil, add 1 cup of cold water. (Cooking time is between 3 minutes 30 seconds to 4 minutes.) Drain the noodles in a strainer and rinse them several times in cold water to remove excess starch.
   6. In a bowl with the sauce, add the noodles and mix well.
   7. Heat oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Season the pork belly with salt and pepper, then sear it both sides.
   8. Serve the noodles topped with pork belly, minari, and chamoe, and sprinkle with lemon zest.

   Notes
   •If you can't find chamoe, you can substitute it with radish or cucumber.
   •You can replace minari with Italian parsley or romaine lettuce.
   •You can substitute lemon juice with vinegar, but adjust the amount accordingly.
   •If you add cold water while boiling the somyeon, the noodles will become more elastic.
