Step 1
Boil salted water in a large skillet over high heat. Add ramen noodles, stir, and cook until just tender, ~3 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
Return the skillet to medium-high. Add 1 tbsp butter and chicken pieces. Cook, stirring, until no pink remains, ~5 minutes.
Step 3
Add minced garlic to the chicken and stir until fragrant, ~30 seconds.
Step 4
Stir in gochujang, remaining 1 tbsp butter, and honey. Mix until sauce coats the chicken, ~1 minute.
Step 5
Return cooked noodles to the skillet. Toss vigorously until every strand is coated and edges start to crisp, ~3 minutes.
Step 6
Divide between bowls. Top with chopped scallions and sesame seeds. Serve hot.
