Instructions

Cook the noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a bowl, whisk together gochujang, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, garlic, ginger, and water until smooth.
Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the sauce mixture and cook for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.
