This gochujang noodle recipe is a Korean-inspired dish bursting with flavor. Featuring chewy noodles, fresh veggies, and a creamy, spicy gochujang sauce, it's a perfect vegan meal for any day!
Ingredients
- 400 grams ramen noodles or wide rice noodles for GF
- 1 cup edamame beans optional. See notes for protein options
- 4 green onions, diced
- 3-4 cups vegetables of choice I used mushrooms and cabbage
Creamy Gochujang Sauce
- 3 tbsp Gochujang sauce
- 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce tamari for GF
- 3 tbsp tahini
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 2 tsp miso paste optional
- 1 tbsp brown sugar or maple syrup
- 1 tsp garlic powder or used 2-3 cloves fresh
- water to loosen
Toppings
- diced green onion tops
- sesame seeds
- chili oil
Instructions
- Boil the noodles according to package instructions.
- Chop up the veggies into bite-sized peices.
- In a pan on medium heat add a little oil, the bottoms of the green onions, vegetables, and edamame if adding. Cook for 3-5 minutes stirring occasionally. Make sure the mushrooms and edamame are cooked through.
- Next, make the sauce by combing soy sauce, Gochujang, brown sugar, tahini, garlic powder, lime juice, and miso and whisking until smooth. Add a tablespoon or two of water if needed to thin it out.
- Add the cooked noodles and sauce into the same pan the vegetables are cooking in, and cook for another minute or two until all ingredients are combined. Add a little water if needed to loosen the sauce but careful not to add too much.
- Sprinkle on your favourite toppings, serve and enjoy!
Notes
Protein: This noodle dish is great on it's own and often wheat noodles can be a source of protein. I like adding 1 cup of edamame in with the vegetables for a lazy protein option.
You can add in any cooked protein source you like. This is delicious with cooked TVP or your favorite cooked vegan ground beef. It's also delicious with some crumbled and fried tofu or even crumbled up tempeh. Choose whatever protein source you like! This noodle dish is quite versatile.
Gyoza: This dish is absolutely DELICIOUS served with cooked vegetable pot stickers or gyoza. It also goes great with spring rolls for a take out vibe at home!
