Here’s a super easy and tasty Kimchi Noodles recipe with coriander for that fresh kick!
What you’ll need:
- 1 packet of instant noodles (ramen works great)
- 1/2 cup chopped kimchi
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon gochujang (or sriracha if you like it spicy)
- 1 teaspoon sugar (optional, but it balances the heat)
- 1/2 cup water (or more if you like it soupy)
- Fresh coriander (cilantro), chopped (for garnish)
- 1 boiled egg (optional, adds richness)
- Green onions (optional, for garnish)
How to make it:
- Cook the noodles: Boil them according to the package instructions. Drain them, but save a little of the cooking water if you want a brothier dish.
- Sauté the kimchi: In a pan, heat up the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the chopped kimchi and cook for about 2-3 minutes until it’s fragrant and a little crispy.
- Add the sauces: Stir in soy sauce, gochujang (or sriracha), and sugar (if you’re using it). Mix everything together to combine the flavors.
- Combine noodles with kimchi: Add the cooked noodles to the pan with the kimchi. Pour in some of the saved noodle water (or just plain water) to make a bit of broth. Stir everything to coat the noodles with the delicious kimchi sauce.
- Garnish: Top it with chopped coriander (cilantro) and a boiled egg for extra richness. Green onions are optional but a nice touch!
- Serve: Enjoy the spicy, savory noodles with a fresh coriander finish!
This dish is the perfect mix of heat, flavor, and freshness. Enjoy your quick kimchi noodles!
