• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil

• 1 tablespoon Gochujang paste
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Cilantro leaves

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the rice noodles according to package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water to prevent sticking, then set aside.

Step 2

Slice the carrot into thin julienne strips and the red bell pepper into thin slices.

Step 3

Chop the green onions into small pieces and keep the white and green parts separate.

Step 4

In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, gochujang paste, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well mixed.

Step 5

Add the cooked rice noodles to the sauce mixture and toss to evenly coat the noodles.

Step 6

Heat a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the white parts of the green onions and the sliced carrots and red bell peppers. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.

Step 7

Add the edamame and stir-fry for another 2 minutes.

Step 8

Add the kimchi and continue to stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 9

Add the coated noodles to the skillet and toss everything together until well combined and heated through.

Step 10

Remove from heat and garnish with green parts of the green onions, sesame seeds, and cilantro leaves before serving.
