Cold Spicy Kimchi Noodles (Bibim Guksu)

Yay!  I actually had company for lunch today with a friend who likes spicy food and also eats healthy.  We ate outside, but this is progress and plenty of time past 2nd vaccines!  I thought I'd make some kind of salad, an upscale salad.  I looked at a lot of different recipes and based mine on this one.  The bold italic text is the sauce (Bibim):

Sautéed Callaloo

At the farmer's market yesterday I stumbled across these greens called "Callaloo".  It was the first time I've ever heard of them, that I remember.  With a name like that, how could I resist?  The vendor said it was similar to spinach and I could use it in the same way.  He mentioned when a Jamaican food truck was on site at the market, they lost their minds when they saw this green...sweet memories of home ❤.  I perused recipes, it's a Carribean green. I decided I would just saute it and see what it was like.  I didn't have a "Scotch Bonnet" pepper or Habanero even, so I used Serrano.
