Buldak Spicy Chicken Noodles

Step 1

Cut 1 lb chicken thighs into bite-size pieces. In a bowl, mix 3 tbsp gochujang, 2 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tbsp honey. Toss chicken in the sauce and set aside.

Step 2

Cook 2 packages instant ramen noodles according to package directions, then drain and set aside. Reserve 1/4 cup of the noodle water.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add the sauced chicken and cook, stirring, until browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes. The sauce should cling and caramelize slightly.

Step 4

Add the cooked noodles and reserved noodle water to the skillet. Toss everything together over medium heat until the noodles are coated and hot, about 2 minutes.

Step 5

Slice 2 mozzarella cheese sticks and arrange on top of the noodles. Cover the skillet for 1 minute to melt the cheese, then serve with sliced tomatoes and a sprinkle of crispy fried onions if you have them.
