For this recipe, I wanted to draw inspiration from Korean cuisine because lately, I’ve been a bit addicted to gochujang. So, I’m exclusively presenting to you my stir-fried udon with kimchi. If you want something more soup-like, try my kitsune udon or even the niku udon

Deliciously thick and flavorful, the taste of these noodles is ideal for both eating comfort food and giving yourself plenty of energy to tackle the afternoon head-on!

The ingredients for stir-fried udon with kimchi

As usual, we use light soy sauce which should not be confused with dark soy sauce

Then come the gochujang and gochugaru for which I’ve already put the link to the article above. These are the two star Korean spices that will make the dish deliciously exotic.

The same goes for kimchi, you can use either homemade or store-bought kimchi if you’re in a hurry.
