These spicy Gochujang Noodles with Pork or Chicken are so delicious and easily adaptable for a plant based version.
I made these noodles today not plant based for my meat eating friend. I used ground pork but you could swap out the pork for ground chicken if you like. To make this recipe plant based simply use your favorite vegan alternative. I like Impossible Brand ground alternative.
The sauce comes from one of my very favorite appetizers I’ve made here on the blog, Korean Cauliflower Bites w/Sweet & Spicy Chile Sauce. The Gochujang chili sauce is so good! I used a package of already cooked stir fry noodles. Alternatively, use ramen noodles (no spice packet please!). Then I just stirred in a handful of spinach, chopped basil and cilantro and some sliced green onion. So good!
