Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Low-fat ramen noodles (or soba noodles for an even lighter option)
- 2 tablespoons Gochugaru (Korean red chili flakes)
- 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Honey (or a sugar-free alternative)
- 1 tablespoon Gochujang (Korean chili paste, low-fat version if available)
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
- 2 Scallions, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
- 100 milliliters Water
- 1 cup Spinach or bok choy (optional, for additional vegetables)
Instructions
Start by cooking the low-fat ramen noodles or soba noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix gochugaru, soy sauce, honey (or sugar-free alternative), gochujang, minced garlic, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Stir well to create the sauce base.
Heat 100 milliliters of water in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the prepared sauce mixture and stir well to combine. Let it simmer gently for 2-3 minutes.
If you're adding spinach or bok choy, toss them into the pan with the sauce and cook for 1-2 minutes until slightly wilted.
Add the cooked noodles to the pan and toss them in the sauce until fully coated. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow the noodles to absorb the flavors.
Serve the noodles in bowls and garnish with chopped scallions and sesame seeds on top.
Enjoy your low-fat spicy buldak noodles hot!
