Procedure:

Cook noodles of choice in a pot of boiling water. Drain and set aside, reserving some of the noodle water.
.To a heat-proof bowl, add:
– 2-3 finely chopped garlic cloves
– 1 – 4 tsp gochugaru (Korean crushed red pepper flakes; can sub with regular chilli flakes but the flavour will not be the same)
– 1/2 – 1 tbsp sesame seeds
– Handful of spring onions.
Gently heat 1.5 tbsp of sesame oil and once hot, pour it over the chilli-garlic mixture. Let it sizzle for a few minutes , then whisk in the remaining ingredients:
– 1 – 1.5 tbsp Gochujang paste/ red chilli paste
– 1 – 1.5 tbsp smooth peanut butter
– 1 tbsp rice vinegar
– 2 tbsp soy sauce
– 1/2 tbsp miso (optional)
– 1 tbsp lime juice
– 2 tsp sugar
Taste and adjust according to preference, for instance adding more lime juice for a zing. You could even add a dollop of your favourite hot sauce to amp up the heat.
Now mix in the noodles along with a splash of the noodle cooking water. Toss until evenly combined and serve with more spring onions for garnish.
