Dinner Friday 18 August - Korean Style Noodles


Korean Style Noodles

I bought a big sack of 15 different instant noodle blocks in China Town a while back. They are something like £1.00 for the whole thing, so they got added to the hoard. They are made in Korea and have interesting flavours like Kim Chee flavoured (with added pork fat!)

Unfortunately, most of them turned out to have pork fat in the seasoning sachet, so I will just be using them as noodle portions.

1 tablespoon Korean chilli paste (gochujang)
1 tablespoon Korean soy bean paste (doenjang)
1 green chilli, sliced (or to taste)
2-3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 yellow pepper, desseeded & sliced
100g tenderstem brocolli, cut into segments
1 pack instant noodles (any sort - I had to chuck out the seasoning packet as meaty), 80g
110g cooked prawns
a few spring onions, sliced (about 40g)

Mix the Korean chilli paste into 10 fluid ounces water. Bring to a simmer and add the noodle block, brocolli, pepper strips, garlic and chilli. Simmer until noodles and veggies are cooked, about 4 minutes. Add the prawns & Korean miso and heat through. Garnish with the spring onions and serve.
