GOCHUJANG NOODLES for episode “G” of my A-Z series sharing the BEST vegetarian recipes With close to 50 million combined views (!!!) and counting, this is definitely my most popular recipe ever… it’s part fiery, part creamy, super saucy and savoury. Cook noodles of choice in a pot of boiling water. Drain and set aside, reserving some of the noodle water. To a heat-proof bowl, add: - 2-3 finely chopped garlic cloves - 3 - 4 tsp gochugaru (Korean crushed red pepper flakes; can sub with regular chilli flakes but the flavour will not be the same) - 1/2 - 1 tbsp sesame seeds - Handful of spring onions Gently heat 1.5 tbsp of hot oil and once hot, pour it over the chilli-garlic mixture. Let it sizzle for a few minutes , then whisk in the remaining ingredients: - 1 - 1.5 tbsp Gochujang paste/ red chilli paste - 1.5-2 tbsp smooth peanut butter and/or tahini (I use a mix of both) - 1 tbsp rice vinegar (can substitute with more lime juice) - 1 tbsp lime juice - 2 tbsp soy sauce - 2 tsp sugar Taste and adjust according to preference, for instance adding more lime juice for a zing. You could even add a dollop of your favourite hot sauce to amp up the heat. Now mix in the noodles along with a splash of the noodle cooking water. Toss until evenly combined and serve with more spring onions and sesame seeds for garnish. {gochujang noodles, spicy noodles, trending recipes, viral recipes, noodle recipes, gochugaru, chilli oil, chilli oil noodles, spicy recipes, noodle lovers, gochujang #easyrecipesathome #quickrecipes #koreanfood #spicynoodles #vegetarianrecipes #vegetarianfood}
