Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2-3 tablespoons gochujang sauce
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1-2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 clove minced garlic
  • 1-2 cups broth or water for thinning the sauce
  • 1 pound ground chicken

Method
 

  1. Whisk the soy sauce, gochujang sauce, tomato paste, peanut butter, water, brown sugar, sesame oil, and minced garlic in a small bowl or shake together in a jar until it forms a thick sauce.
  2. Cook the ground chicken in a large skillet over medium-high heat until browned. Season generously.
  3. Boil noodles according to package directions until just softened. Drain and set aside.
  4. Add the cooked chicken, cooked noodles, and the prepared sauce to the skillet. Toss to combine over medium-high heat until the noodles are heated through.
  5. Add broth or water, a little at a time, to thin the sauce to your desired sauciness. Toss well to coat everything evenly.
  6. Serve immediately, topped with your favorite fresh herbs, scallions, chili oil, or sesame seeds for extra flavor and texture.

Notes

- For an extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the gochujang.
- Use chicken thighs for a more tender and flavorful result.
- Garnish with toasted sesame seeds, sliced scallions, and a drizzle of chili oil for texture and visual appeal.
- Adjust the amount of broth or water to achieve your preferred sauce consistency.
