Gochujang Butter Noodles with Crispy Egg
Gochujang butter noodles are a 10-minute, glossy bowl with spicy sauce, spring onions, and a crispy fried egg.
Why This Recipe Works
Butter softens the heat of gochujang, while noodle water emulsifies the sauce into a silky coating. A fried egg adds richness and texture.
Ingredients Overview
Gochujang brings heat, soy sauce adds salt, and spring onions keep it fresh. Chilli oil and sesame seeds finish it with extra punch.
How to Make It
Cook noodles, fry an egg, then toss everything together in a quick butter-gochujang sauce. Serve hot with toppings.
Tips and Storage
This is best eaten immediately. If you need to reheat, add a splash of water and toss over low heat.
