Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces of spaghetti or udon noodles
  • 2 tablespoons of gochujang Korean red chili paste
  • 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon of sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup
  • 2 cloves of garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon of grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
  • 1 cup of sliced bell peppers any color
  • 1 cup of shredded carrots
  • 1 cup of snap peas or snow peas
  • 2 green onions sliced
  • Sesame seeds for garnish optional

Method
 

  1. Cook the noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside, reserving a little pasta water.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the gochujang, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger until well combined.
  3. In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced bell peppers, shredded carrots, and snap peas. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  4. Add the cooked noodles to the skillet along with the gochujang sauce. Toss everything together, adding a splash of reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in the sliced green onions. Serve hot, garnished with sesame seeds if desired.
