Gochujang Udon Stir Fry

Flavors: Sweet, salty, mildly spicy

Paramount Coffee Project in LA has this BOMB udon dish on their menu. It’s a spicy noodle served with an egg- it’s one of those dishes that sticks with you. Here’s my rendition of it. I LOVED eating it for breakfast. Savory breakfast for the win. Scroll to the bottom to see the photo of the Paramount noodles.

Serves 2-3

Ingredients

• 1-2 eggs (softboiled- boil for 6 mins)

• 2 packs of udon

• 3 tbsp Gochujang

• 3 tbsp soy sauce

• 3 cloves garlic (minced)

• 1/4 cup of red onion of shallots (chopped)

Instructions

1. Stir fry onions in vegetable oil until translucent.

2. Mix gochujang, mirin, soy sauce, kimch, a little salt & pepper, and a 1 tsp of sesame or vegetable oil until it’s a stir-able mixture.

3. Fry garlic.

4. Chop up the white part of the green onion & stir fry.

5. Add any other leafy green (chopped bok choy, chopped spinach)

6. Soft boil your egg if you haven’t already.

7. Boil Udon per package instructions & coat with oil so they don’t stick.
