Intro to Gochujang Fire Noodles:

These are spicy, tangy, just a little sweet, and absolutely delicious. Gochujang is a Korean chili paste and if it’s not already in your cabinet, after trying this dish, it will surely become an essential!

Gochujang Sauce v. Paste

I typically use the gochujang from the brand “Chung Jung One” from the grocery store, Ralphs. (Not sponsored lol). This version is more of a sauce consistency and a bit milder than traditional gochujang paste. It is also vegan and doesn’t contain alcohol which is why I like to purchase this particular version. It reminds me of the gochujang sauce that is served at my local bibimbap place!

If you would like to use traditional gochujang paste, which I have been told has a stronger flavor, I recommend significantly reducing the quantity that is called for in this recipe.

The Perfect Toppings:

Feel free to use whatever veggies you prefer in this dish to add some extra substance and a little crunch. I love using green cabbage but shredded carrots, mushrooms, or bean sprouts would work well in this too.

For protein I also love adding tofu to these noodles (and pretty much to all my noodle dishes actually). To get the perfectly baked tofu, use a block of extra firm tofu and cut it into cubes. Spread the cubes evenly apart on top of parchment paper and bake it in the oven at 350 degrees for 30 minutes to get the perfect texture.

Keys to Success:

PRO TIP: Make sure to let your sauce thicken up before adding in your noodles. The cornstarch slurry will help with process but it will take a minute or two to thicken. So let the sauce thicken and then add the noodles in to get the appropriate texture; if you add the noodles too soon the consistency of the sauce will be too thin to stick to the noodles and coat them evenly.

PRO TIP: Make sure to garnish with scallions and sesame seeds for an added boost of flavor that will elevate this dish.
