Instructions
 

Cook the noodles

  • Prepare your noodles as the package says, but leave them on the burner until they are not quite soft all the way. Set aside and drain – they will be cooked in the sauce later on.

Make the spicy sauce

  • Combine gochujang, gochugaru, soy sauce, oyster sauce, vinegar, honey, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger in a bowl. It is supposed to appear shiny, fat, and threateningly crimson.

Cook the chicken

  • Heat oil in a skillet. Put in chicken and roast until they becomes opaque and slightly golden. Add salt and pepper. Maintain a high level of heat to achieve a good sear.

Add veggies

  • Add onions, peppers, carrots, and cabbage. Stir-fry until all is softened a little, but it is still bright and lively.

Add the sauce

  • Add the spicy sauce that you made previously. Allow it to boil, thicken, and stick to the chicken and vegetables. The kitchen will smell so good--steady yourself.

Add noodles

  • Add noodles and stir them like you are about to eat them. Ensure that all the strands are covered with the sauce. Add a little water when necessary to loosen things.

Taste and adjust

  • In case it requires more sweetness, saltiness, or heat - adjust here. This is your moment of power.

Serve hot

  • You can add the sesame seeds, the green onions, and a fried egg in case you want to feel as comfortable as possible.
