This spicy pork and peanut noodles recipe appeared in last month's Delicious magazine. It was the thick udon noodles that caught my eye first...the dish just looked so appealing. On reading the recipe, it's very quick to prepare and cook, and sounded delicious...so I made it!
This is another noodle dish that's incredibly full of flavour, from the sesame oil to the ginger, garlic, gochujang, soy and mirin. Gochujang can make a dish quite hot, but there isn't a huge quantity in this recipe, so it just provides a nice warmth. The vegetables still retain a bit of crunch, along with the spring onions and peanuts. Everything is perfectly balanced and very moreish!!
Tips
- Gochujang is a hot/sweet fermented condiment from Korea – if you can’t find it in your local supermarket or South Asian grocers, use a fermented black bean paste or umami paste.
- This spicy pork and peanut noodles recipe is easily adapted if you’re cooking for less or more people.
