A delicious and spicy noodle dish made with gochujang, perfect for a quick meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces of spaghetti or ramen noodles
- 2 tablespoons of gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1 tablespoon of soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon of sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon of grated ginger
- 1 cup of mixed vegetables (such as bell peppers, carrots, and snap peas)
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook the noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a bit of the pasta water.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add the sesame oil. Once hot, add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the mixed vegetables to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they are tender but still crisp.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the gochujang, soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), and a splash of the reserved pasta water to create a sauce.
- Add the cooked noodles to the skillet with the vegetables and pour the sauce over the top. Toss everything together until the noodles are well coated and heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a teaspoon of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
- You can substitute the mixed vegetables with any seasonal veggies you have on hand, such as broccoli or zucchini.
