Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, minced garlic, and Sriracha or Gochujang to create a savory sauce that packs a flavorful punch. Mix well and set aside.
  2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the thin Asian noodles and cook until they are just firm, about 3-4 minutes. Drain the noodles and rinse under cold water.
  3. Place a high-quality wok over medium-high heat and allow it to heat up for about 2 minutes. Drizzle a tablespoon of oil around the wok.
  4. Add the cooked noodles to the hot wok and stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes, tossing continuously to evenly crisp them up.
  5. If using a protein, add it now along with mixed vegetables. Stir-fry for an additional 3-4 minutes.
  6. Pour the prepared sauce over the stir-fried noodles, protein, and veggies. Toss everything together for another minute.
  7. Remove the wok from the heat and plate your Crispy Korean Noodles. Garnish with sesame seeds or sliced green onions if desired.
