Knead a firm noodle dough with the flour, egg, water, and half the salt.
Rest the dough for 30 minutes.
Boil the chicken thighs, onion, garlic, remaining salt, and water in a pot for 35 minutes.
Remove and shred the chicken, strain the broth, and return it to the pot.
Roll the dough thin, cut it into strip noodles, and shake off the excess flour.
Add the noodles, zucchini, and shredded chicken to the boiling broth and cook for 12 minutes.
Serve kalguksu hot with black pepper and scallions.
💡 Tip: Shake excess flour off the cut noodles; flour going straight into the soup makes the broth cloudy and sticky.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve kalguksu hot with thin scallions, a few drops of olive oil instead of sesame oil, and optional kimchi.
