Ingredients

Gochujang Sauce:

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

Ramen:

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • freshly ground black pepper

  • 1/4 cup chives, scallions, cilantro, basil, or whatever herbs you like for topping
  • salt to taste
  • 1 tablespoon chili oil for finishing
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds for finishing

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Gochujang Sauce: Whisk the sauce ingredients (except the extra broth) in a small bowl or shake together in a jar until a thick sauce forms.
  2. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground chicken, seasoning generously with salt and pepper.
  3. Prepare the Noodles: Boil the noodles briefly to soften, then drain and set aside.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Once the chicken is cooked, add spinach, noodles, and sauce to the skillet over medium-high heat. Toss to combine and heat until the spinach wilts. Add extra water or broth gradually to reach desired sauciness.
  5. Serve: Serve the noodles topped with fresh herbs, scallions, chili oil, sesame seeds, and any additional toppings of your choice.
