Ingredients
  

Gochujang Sauce
  • 3 tablespoons Gochujang Paste
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari or coconut aminos
  • 3-4 tablespoons maple syrup depending on how sweet you want it
Pasta & Veggies
  • 10 oz Dried Noodles OR 16 oz Fresh Noodles
  • 1 bunch green onions
  • 1-2 cloves garlic
  • 1-2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
  • 1 head broccoli
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 1 cup sugar snap peas
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls and spoons
  • 2 stove top pots, one large for pasta and one for steaming veggies
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. Cook the noodles according to package directions. Bring a large pot of salted water to boil and cook the noodles according to the instructions on the package. Depending on what type of noodles you used will determine how long they need to cook. In general, wheat spaghetti will take about 11 minutes to cook.
  2. Prep and cook the veggies. While the water is coming to a boil for the pasta, begin to wash and chop all the veggies that you are using. Add the veggies to a pot with a few tablespoons of water to help them steam. Add them in order from longest cooking to quickest cooking. For the vegetables used here, that was first the broccoli, then after 2 minutes the peppers and peas together. Finally, I added the garlic and ginger. They cooked for about 6 minutes in total. However, they may cook more quickly or more slowly depending on what vegetables you use.
  3. Mix the sauce. While everything else is cooking, quickly whisk the sauce together in a bowl. No need to cook this!
  4. Combine and serve. When the noodles are cooked, carefully remove the noodles from the boiling water to the pot with the veggies. Pour the sauce over and mix well. Season each bowl with sliced green onions and a hearty sprinkle of sesame seeds. Enjoy!!
