Gochujang Noodles

Cook noodles of your choice according to package instructions. Drain and set aside, reserving some of the noodle water for the sauce.

In a heat-proof bowl, add finely chopped garlic, gochugaru, sesame seeds, and a handful of spring onions.

Gently heat oil and pour it over the chili-garlic mixture. Let it sizzle.

Add Gochujang paste, peanut butter and/or tahini, rice vinegar, lime juice, soy sauce, and sugar to the bowl.

Whisk all the sauce ingredients together until well combined and smooth.

Pour the sauce over the cooked noodles. Add a splash of the reserved noodle cooking water and toss until the noodles are evenly coated.

Serve the noodles garnished with more spring onions and sesame seeds.
