Gochujang-Sesame Noodles

Prep: 10 min

Total Time: 30 min

Servings: 4

Ingredients

8–10oz. Fresh or Dried Wheat Noodles, (such as lo mein, udon, or ramen)

Kosher Salt

¼ cup Gochujang

3 tablespoons Soy Sauce

2 tablespoons light or dark Brown Sugar

2 tablespoons Tahini

2 teaspoons Toasted Sesame Oil

2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil

1 bunch Broccoli Rabe, coarsely chopped

4-6 Garlic Cloves, finely chopped

Freshly Cracked Black Pepper

Handful of torn Basil Leaves, plus sprigs for serving

Toasted Sesame Seeds and Lime Wedges (for serving)

Instructions

Cook noodles in a large pot of boiling salted water according to package directions. Drain and rinse under cool running water.

Whisk gochujang, soy sauce, brown sugar, tahini, sesame oil, and 2 Tbsp. water in a small bowl to combine; set sauce aside.

Heat vegetable oil in a wok or large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add broccoli rabe and garlic; season with salt and lots of pepper. Cook, tossing often, until broccoli rabe stems are crisp-tender and leaves are wilted, about 2 minutes. Add reserved sauce and cook, stirring often, until thickened slightly, about 2 minutes. Add noodles and a handful of basil and toss gently until sauce clings to noodles, about 1 minute.

Divide noodles among bowls and top with sesame seeds and more basil. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing over.
