Spicy Green Onion Egg Glass Noodle Soup (Gyeran Dangmyeon Guk)
This is one of my go-to meals when I want something warm, spicy, and comforting without spending too much time in the kitchen.
This spicy egg glass noodle soup comes together quickly, but still feels really satisfying. The broth is simple but full of flavor from the chili oil base, and the combination of soft eggs and chewy glass noodles makes it extra cozy.
It’s also a great way to put together a quick meal with just a few ingredients. The eggs add protein, the green onions bring freshness, and everything comes together in one pot.
If you have thinly sliced beef or mandu on hand, they’re great additions as well.

Best fresh. Noodles will continue to absorb broth over time.Tips
• Don’t overcook the noodles — they soften quickly in the broth. • Pour eggs slowly for soft ribbons. • Adjust spice level by reducing or increasing gochugaru. • Add beef or mandu for a more filling version. • Anchovy broth coin is optional, but highly recommended for deeper, more savory flavor.If you liked this, you might also like:
