How To Make kimchi pork & noodles

  • Step 1
    Bring 4 quarts water to a boil in a large pot. Add the noodles and cook, stirring once in a while, until tender. Drain, rinse under cold water, then toss with the 2 teaspoons of grapeseed oil. Set aside.
  • Step 2
    Meanwhile, slice the scallions on the diagonal. Keep the green parts and the white parts separate. Set aside.
  • Step 3
    Whisk together the gochujang, soy sauce, sugar, kimchi juice, sesame oil, and 1/4 cup water. Set aside.
  • Step 4
    In a non-stick skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil over medium heat. Add the pork and scallion whites. Cook, crumbling the meat, until it is no longer pink. Increase heat to high and add the butter, kimchi, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring often, until browned.
  • Step 5
    Add the drained noodles to the meat and toss. Add the gochujang mixture. Stir and toss until the noodles are heated through and the sauce clings to the noodles. Remove from heat, add the scallion greens and toasted sesame seeds. Toss. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed. Serve.
