Step 1
Bring a large skillet to medium-high heat with 1 tbsp oil. Add chicken pieces and cook, stirring, until golden and cooked through, ~7 minutes.
Step 2
Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add gochujang, butter, and soy sauce; mix until well combined.
Step 3
Boil noodles in salted water per package directions until al dente, ~3 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain.
Step 4
Add noodles and 1/4 cup pasta water to the skillet. Toss constantly until noodles are coated and sauce clings, about 2 minutes.
Step 5
Push noodles to the side. Add remaining 1 tbsp oil to the skillet and crack both eggs into the empty space. Fry until whites set and yolks jiggle, ~3 minutes.
Step 6
Divide noodles and chicken between bowls. Top each with a fried egg and serve immediately.
