Spicy Gochujang Noodles Recipe
Description
Spicy Gochujang Noodles begin with a sauce blended from gochujang paste, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey (or sugar), lime juice, and minced garlic if using. The noodles—rice, flour, egg, or ramen style—are boiled until tender, drained, and lightly tossed with oil.
Chopped chili peppers and bell peppers are stir-fried to soften them slightly, then the noodles are added and stir-fried briefly. The gochujang sauce is poured over the noodles and tossed thoroughly to coat the strands evenly with the spicy, savory, and slightly sweet flavor.
The dish is served garnished with sesame seeds, fresh scallions, and optionally a squeeze of lime or red pepper flakes for extra heat. This recipe can be adapted with vegetables or proteins added during cooking.
