Ingredient Notes
Some notes on some of the ingredients I used in this recipe. The full recipe is below:
- Noodles. For the noodles in this recipe, I use spaghetti but you can use any noodles that you have on hand.
- Gochujang. The gochujang sauce that I use is a hot gochujang but use whatever one you can find at the store and adjust the amount according to taste and heat preference.
- Rice wine vinegar. I like to use seasoned rice wine vinegar which has a little sugar added to it.
- Corn starch. This ingredient is optional but I like to mix a little into the sauce to help the sauce stick to the pasta.
How To Make Saucy Gochujang Noodles (Spicy Korean Noodles)
Make the gochujang sauce: To make these gochujang noodles, you will start by making the gochujang sauce which consists of soy sauce, sesame oil, gochujang sauce, rice wine vinegar, garlic, and corn starch (if you are using it). Just mix it all together then set aside. The next step is cooking the spaghetti until al dente and draining it.
- Cook noodles: Cook the pasta then add that to the bowl of gochujang sauce and toss well.
- Add green onions: Now add the green onions and toss lightly again.
- Toss: Toss it all together to make sure all of that delicious gochujang sauce coats the noodles evenly.
