Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Bring 6 cups salted water to a boil in a large pot over high heat, ~6 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Add shrimp and squid to boiling water. Cook until shrimp turns pink and squid curls, ~2 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Add noodles to the same pot. Boil until al dente, ~5 minutes, stirring gently to prevent sticking.

  4. Step 4

    Whisk gochujang into the broth until fully dissolved, breaking up any lumps with the back of a spoon.

  5. Step 5

    Drizzle sesame oil over the top. Divide into bowls and garnish with scallions.
