Instructions
Make the gochijang paste
- In a small bowl, combine the gochujang paste, soy sauce, vinegar, Sriracha (if using), sugar and sake (or water). Mix well and set aside.
Make the noodles
- Boil the dried noodles to the packet instructions and set aside. You can also use pre boiled noodles too.
Make the spicy pork
- Heat the vegetable oil over a medium heat in a pan or wok until just hot then add the onion and garlic and fry gently for 3-4 minutes.
- Turn up the heat a little and then add the pork and stir fry for 4-5 minutes until no pink is left, breaking up any clumps of meat.
- Add the gochujang paste and 1 cup water and stir well to combine. Let this come to a simmer then reduce the heat to low. Simmer gently for 15 minutes until thick and creamy.
- Stir in the noodles until well combined and just starting to simmer again. Remove from the heat and stir in the sesame oil.
Assembling the bowls
- Using a couple of tbsp of oil, fry your eggs in a small frying pan, then drain on paper towels.
- Spoon a generous helping of noodles and pork into a deep bowl and garnish with the spring onion, radish, cucumber and a little sliced chilli. Top with a fried egg and then a sprinkle of sesame seeds. That's it!
Notes
- Serve promptly once prepared while hot. This all-in-one bowl meal doesn't require any additional accompaniments. If you have leftovers, they can be reheated in the microwave, but be aware that the noodles may become softer as they continue to absorb the sauce.
- Please note that this dish is not recommended for freezing. Feel free to personalize your garnishes based on your preference. Pickled Asian vegetables, kimchi, shredded daikon radish, cabbage, or fresh ginger can all be great additions to enhance the flavor.
