Gochujang Noodles

Gochujang Noodles is a Korean inspired dish of stir-fried noodles seasoned with gochujang and served with slices of beef steak and toasted sesame seeds.

When it comes to Korean noodles, the sweet potato starch noodles grabs a lot of attention and we see it in many of the Korean Noodle dishes like Japchae but have your tried other noodle types that uses mainly Korean ingredients? Well for me, I had but only those instant ones, but if we are talking about proper cooked dishes then I haven’t, but I surely know there are many other noodles variations out there, it’s not just that popular from where I am or I don’t know where to get it from. Today we will be changing that by preparing my own Korean inspired stir-fried noodle with some Gochujang and other common Korean ingredients such as beef, spring onions, sesame seeds and sesame oil. I am not sure if there is an official name for this in the Korean cuisine but if there is let me know, I am just freestyling and just want to make a stir fried noodle with a Korean flair, and here it is.

  1. This is so yummy! I used to eat lots of stirfried noodles and rice for the lunch when I was much younger…it was delicious, easy and soul comforting. These days my stomach and waistline can’t seem to handle carbohydrates as much as I wish. Really sad…

  2. Chef Mimi says:

    This sounds wonderful, traditional or not! Who cares if it tastes good! I’ve never mixed gochujang and hoisin together. I’m really intrigued.

  3. We’ve ordered Gochujang noodles from a restaurant before, but I definitely haven’t tried making them at home. I’m intrigued now! I kinda want to make a batch this weekend. Sounds like a delicious and pretty easy recipe, my friend!

  4. I love noodles any which way you can serve them! It’s a universal comfort food, really. Sounds like a top contender for dinner tonight!

    Raymund,
    Loved these yellow noodles. I love how you have used the hoisin sauce to impart the lovely flavours to these noodles. Thanks!

  6. I can never order something like this out – many gochujang pastes have garlic, while some don’t. So I have the one at home that doesn’t – so making this at home will be fun. Thanks!

  7. I’ve got all the ingredients in the fridge to make this terrific sounding noodle dish. I know we will love it.
