Preparation
Gochujang Noodles
- In a large non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat and cook the ginger and garlic for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and salt and cook for a further 6 minutes, stirring often. Add green onions, gochujang and maple syrup and stir well.
- In a pot of boiling salted water, cook the pasta according to the time indicated on the package. Remove 1/2 cup (125 ml) cooking water. Drain the pasta and place in the sauce with the cooking water and basil. Stir gently.
Fried eggs
- In a non-stick frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat and gently crack half the eggs at a time. Cook on one side only for 2 to 3 minutes, or until white is cooked and egg edges are golden. Season with salt and pepper.
Note : Gochujang is a condiment that is now available in most grocery stores. On the other hand, if there’s none available in your local grocery store, try an Asian market! I guarantee it’s well worth having!
