Ingredients

  • 1 red onion chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper chopped
  • 2 T olive oil
  • 7 cloves of garlic chopped
  • 2 teas freshly grated ginger
  • 3 T Gochujang paste
  • 3 T reduced sodium soy sauce

Instructions

  1. In a wok or large sauce pan, over medium high heat, sauté red onions, green peppers, with olive oil for 5 minutes

  2. Reduce to medium low and add garlic and ginger and sauté for 1 minute more (constantly stirring so that the garlic doesn’t burn); you can add a little more olive oil if you need to.

  3. Add Gochujang paste and soy sauce and stir for 1 more minute.

  4. Then add broth, agave nectar, rice wine vinegar and green onions and let simmer for 15 minutes.

  5. Meanwhile, cook your noodles; drain when finished and set aside.

  6. Add cooked noodles and spinach to the wok, stir well until combined and let simmer for about 2-3 more minutes until the spinach has wilted.

Recipe Notes

This is SPICY! Use less Gochujang paste to turn down the heat.

For the Japanese udon wheat noodles, I use Hakubaku brand.
