steps
step 1: make the sauce
The sauce for these noodles only has 5 ingredients, but it packs a serious punch. The perfect amount of spice and umami!
Combine the soy sauce, gochujang paste, sesame oil, garlic & ginger in a bowl and whisk to combine. That’s it! Your sauce is ready.
Set it aside and we’ll work on everything else.
step 2: cook the veggies
The great thing about this recipe is that everything is made in one pot.
So, the first thing we’re going to tackle is the veggies. And I went with baby bok choy. It is one of my favorite veggies, but I don’t think I use it enough. I need to change that and use it more often!
Just heat some oil, halve the bok choy and add it to the skillet, cut-side down. Cover the skillet and steam for a few minutes.
step 3: finish & serve
Take the bok choy out of the pan and add the noodles, sauce & green onions. Cover and let it steam for a couple of minutes – this will allow the noodles to separate.
Toss until everything is coated and the noodles are warmed through.
Add some noodles and bok choy to each plate, top with more green onion & sesame seeds and enjoy! These noodles are saucy and delicious. You’re going to love them!
tips & tricks
After cooking the bok choy you can leave it halved or chop it up and add it back to the noodles.
Use less gochujang if you are sensitive to heat.
