Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Rice noodles
- 2 tablespoons Gochugaru (Korean red chili flakes)
- 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos (soy-free alternative to soy sauce)
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon Chili paste (soy-free, such as homemade or store-bought with no soy ingredients)
- 1 cup Vegetable broth
- 2 stalks Green onions, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Roasted sesame seeds
- 100 grams Cooked chicken (optional, for added protein)
- 4 cups Water
Instructions
Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a medium-sized pot. Add the rice noodles and cook according to the package instructions (approximately 5-7 minutes). Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the gochugaru, coconut aminos, maple syrup, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and chili paste. Mix well to create a spicy sauce.
In a large skillet or wok over medium heat, pour the vegetable broth and allow it to warm up for about 1 minute.
Add the prepared sauce from Step 2 into the skillet and stir to combine with the broth, creating a rich and spicy mixture. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
If adding cooked chicken, incorporate it into the skillet now to heat it through, stirring to coat it evenly with the sauce.
Add the drained rice noodles to the skillet and toss gently to coat them completely in the spicy sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the noodles to absorb the flavors.
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and roasted sesame seeds.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Soy-Free Spicy Buldak Noodles!
