Learn how to make delicious pasta recipe korean. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.
Ingredients
Scale
Gathering your ingredients is the first step to culinary success. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 8 ounces spaghetti or your favorite pasta
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 cup sliced scallions
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro for garnish
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds for garnish
If you’re missing an ingredient, no worries! Substitute gochujang with sriracha for a different but equally delightful heat, or swap mushrooms for your preferred veggie.
Instructions
Follow these steps to create a dish that’s sure to become a family favorite:
- Begin by cooking the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the sesame oil and vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the sliced bell pepper and mushrooms, cooking for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
- Stir in the soy sauce, gochujang, and honey, mixing well to combine. Let the sauce simmer for 2 minutes to meld the flavors.
- Toss the cooked pasta into the skillet, ensuring it’s well coated with the sauce. Add the scallions and toss everything together for another 2-3 minutes.
- Transfer the pasta to serving plates and garnish with chopped cilantro and sesame seeds.
Remember, cooking is about balancing flavors. If the sauce is too spicy, a splash of lemon juice can tame the heat, a trick I learned from my early kitchen experiments.
