Instructions

  1. 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.

  2. Step 2

    Return the skillet to medium-high. Add 1 tbsp butter and chicken pieces. Cook, stirring, until no pink remains, ~5 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Add minced garlic to the chicken and stir until fragrant, ~30 seconds.

  4. Step 4

    Stir in gochujang, remaining 1 tbsp butter, and honey. Mix until sauce coats the chicken, ~1 minute.

  5. Step 5

    Return cooked noodles to the skillet. Toss vigorously until every strand is coated and edges start to crisp, ~3 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Divide between bowls. Top with chopped scallions and sesame seeds. Serve hot.
