Steps
- 01
Peel and core the pear, blend with onion and ginger, then strain through a clean cloth. Top up with cold water to 240 mL juice if necessary.
- 02
Mix the juice with 3 tbsp gochugaru, 2 tbsp gochujang, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp vinegar, garlic and salt. Rest about 20 minutes so the flakes hydrate; adjust seasoning.
- 03
Boil the eggs until whites and yolks are fully firm, cool, and quarter. Wash and cut lettuce, cucumber and tomato.
- 04
Cook buckwheat noodles to package directions until fully done and springy, then rinse several times in cold water to remove starch; drain well.
- 05
Spread cold noodles, lettuce, cucumber and tomato on a platter. Add pear sauce, ice, sesame oil and seeds; garnish with the fully cooked eggs and toss just before sharing.
