Method

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil.

  2. Add the noodles and cook according to the package directions (usually 3–5 minutes) until al dente.

  3. Drain the noodles in a colander, rinse briefly with warm water to prevent sticking, and set aside.

  4. While the noodles are cooking, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

  5. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds, stirring constantly until fragrant but not browned.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The garlic smells fragrant and stays pale in the butter.

  6. Stir in the gochujang, honey, and rice vinegar, whisking until the mixture forms a smooth, glossy sauce.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The gochujang mixture turns smooth and glossy as it is whisked.

  7. Add the cooked noodles to the skillet, tossing them gently to coat evenly with the sauce.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The noodles are coated evenly, with no sauce pooled beneath them.

  8. Add the sliced scallions and continue to toss for another 2–3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the scallions to soften slightly.

  9. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed (optional pinch of salt or extra honey for sweetness).

  10. Transfer the noodles to a serving bowl, drizzle any remaining sauce from the pan over the top, and serve immediately while hot.
