Ingredients
- 200 grams Rice noodles
- 2 tablespoons Gochugaru (Korean red chili flakes)
- 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos (soy-free alternative to soy sauce)
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon Chili paste (soy-free, such as homemade or store-bought with no soy ingredients)
- 1 cup Vegetable broth
- 2 stalks Green onions, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Roasted sesame seeds
- 100 grams Cooked chicken (optional, for added protein)
- 4 cups Water
Directions
Step 1
Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a medium-sized pot. Add the rice noodles and cook according to the package instructions (approximately 5-7 minutes). Drain and set aside.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine the gochugaru, coconut aminos, maple syrup, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and chili paste. Mix well to create a spicy sauce.
Step 3
In a large skillet or wok over medium heat, pour the vegetable broth and allow it to warm up for about 1 minute.
Step 4
Add the prepared sauce from Step 2 into the skillet and stir to combine with the broth, creating a rich and spicy mixture. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Step 5
If adding cooked chicken, incorporate it into the skillet now to heat it through, stirring to coat it evenly with the sauce.
Step 6
Add the drained rice noodles to the skillet and toss gently to coat them completely in the spicy sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the noodles to absorb the flavors.
Step 7
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and roasted sesame seeds.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy your Soy-Free Spicy Buldak Noodles!
