What’s in these Gochujang and Peanut Butter Noodles?
Instant ramen noodles- Full of flavour and ready in just 2 minutes these noodles are perfect for this recipe. Simply boil water, add to a pot, add the flavour packet and cook for a few minutes.
Gochujang- This Korean sun-dried chilli paste is full of spice and flavour, perfect for adding to noodles.
Peanut Butter- This not only thickens the sauce but adds a really nutty, full flavour to the recipe.
Tamari or Soy Sauce- Think umami when you think of tamari. It’s a gluten free soy sauce but I prefer the flavour and add it to most recipes.
Cooking Tips:
Take to work: You could even take these to work, simply add the ingredients to a large container, then add in the noodles and boiling water.
Make sure there is noodle water- To get silky smooth noodles, you want to make sure there is a bit of water leftover from boiling them, this helps thicken the sauce too.
