Roasted Garlic Gochujang Udon Noodles
I think we can all agree that roasted garlic makes everything better. The garlic creates an almost buttery and super rich consistency from the roasted cloves and cooked with some gochujang creates this rich and delicious blend of aromatic, spicy and savory flavors that coat the noodles so well. These Roasted Garlic Gochujang Udon Noodles are so easy to make and yet so delicious and can be customized to your liking depending on the noodles you use and the protein add-ins you want.
material
Noodles
- 1 spoon Vegetarian butter
- 1 Scallion Cut – white and green parts are separated
- 1 spoon Gochujung
- 1/2 spoon I am Willow to test
- 1 teaspoon sugar to test
- 2-3 spoon Hot noodle water or hot water
- 2 serving udon (~500 g frozen, See Vaccination)
instructions
fried garlic
-
Preheat your oven or air fryer to 180C/350F.
-
Prepare a small sheet of aluminum foil large enough to completely wrap the garlic. Cut off the top 1/2-inch of the garlic head to expose the cloves. Place it on the aluminum foil and carefully scrunch the sides.
-
Add some olive oil to the cloves and a pinch of salt. Wrap the garlic in aluminum foil to cover it completely. Make sure it is sealed off.
-
Place garlic in your oven or air fryer. I air fry mine for about 30-35 minutes until the tops of the cloves are golden brown. It may take a bit longer in an oven.
-
Mince the garlic cloves and allow to cool.
Noodles
-
Prepare your noodles. See the notes below on how I prepare my frozen udon noodles.
-
Heat a wok or pan over medium-high heat.
-
Add the butter and let it melt.
-
Saute the scallion whites until fragrant. Add fried garlic cloves and gochujang. Press the cloves carefully to make a paste to mix well with the gochujang. Add some soy sauce and sugar to taste.
-
Add your cooked udon or other noodles of choice.
-
Finish with the remaining green part of the scallions. Mix well. Taste your noodles and season with more gochujang, soy sauce or sugar if desired.
-
Added protein and other veggies?I recommend doubling the amount of fried garlic, gochuang and seasoning. If not, you can use 1 serving of noodles for the fried garlic-gochujang mixture, enough for both the noodles and the protein/veg. You can fry everything before adding the noodles.
Comment
UDON
- For frozen udon, you can place them in a microwave safe bowl and cover the noodles. Microwave for 2-3 minutes or until they are chewy and do not stick together. You can also choose to cook these noodles in boiling water. If doing so, don’t overcook the noodles and be sure to drain them from the water before stirring.
