Step 1
Cook the 8 oz noodles in boiling water until tender but chewy, about 5-7 minutes. Drain, rinse under cold water, and set aside.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix 3 tbsp gochujang, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp honey, and 2 tsp sesame oil until smooth. Set aside.
Step 3
Slice the 1 zucchini into thin matchsticks. Blanch in boiling water for 1 minute, then shock in ice water. Drain well.
Step 4
Wilt the 2 cups spinach in a hot skillet for 1-2 minutes until just softened. Squeeze out excess water.
Step 5
Toss the noodles with the sauce, zucchini, and spinach until evenly coated. Taste and add more honey or soy if needed.
Step 6
Divide into bowls and sprinkle with the 1 tbsp sesame seeds. Serve cold or at room temperature.
