Can I substitute for different noodles?

Yes you can, just be mindful of the cooking time. Since these noodles bubble gently in a little water and eventually absorb the water to make a sauce, I wouldn’t recommend using straight-to-wok noodles as they won’t absorb the water. Dried egg noodles or rice noodles would work though.

Where can I buy gochujang?

It’s quite hard to miss these days, I think all major UK supermarkets will have some version of it in their ‘world food section’. Lots of supermarkets these days will also have a dedicated Asian food section too, so try there. Otherwise, you can order online too.

Instructions

Heat a pan over a medium heat then add the sesame oil. Finely grate the garlic then add to the pan and fry gently for a couple of minutes. Add the gochujang and fry for another minute. Add in the water and the noodles and let them cook. You may need more water – you need to eyeball it slightly.
Once the noodles are soft, season with the soy sauce and a squeeze of honey then add in the cheese and mix until melted.
Serve up and top with fried egg, the spring onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
