A warm and comforting dish of udon noodles coated in a creamy, spicy gochujang sauce with vibrant vegetables.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 200 g dried or fresh udon noodles
  • 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
  • 1 cup heavy cream or coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (such as bell peppers, carrots, and snap peas), julienned
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  • Optional: Protein of choice (such as tofu, chicken, or shrimp), cooked and sliced

Instructions

  1. Cook the udon noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
  2. Prepare the gochujang sauce by mixing gochujang, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, cream (or coconut milk), sugar, and rice vinegar in a small bowl until smooth.
  3. Sauté the onions in a large skillet with vegetable oil over medium-high heat until translucent and fragrant.
  4. Add the mixed vegetables to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
  5. Pour the gochujang sauce into the skillet, simmering for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
  6. Combine the cooked udon noodles with the sauce and vegetables, mixing thoroughly. If using a protein, add it at this time.
  7. Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes to heat everything through.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds.

Notes

Cook the noodles slightly under al dente; they’ll continue to cook when added to the sauce. Taste as you go to adjust spice levels.
