Method

  1. Cook the noodles in salted water until al dente. Reserve 120 ml of the cooking water, then drain.

  3. Stir in the gochujang, soy sauce, honey and pasta water until smooth.

  4. Add the noodles and toss for 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce coats them and looks glossy.

  5. Top with green onions and sesame seeds and serve at once.

Tips

  • Add more pasta water a splash at a time if the sauce is too thick.
  • Gochujang varies in heat, so start with less and taste.
