For the best texture, use fresh or frozen udon noodles. Dried noodles will work, but the signature chewiness will be diminished. Adjust the amount of gochujang to your spice preference. Start with less and add more to taste. Feel free to add other vegetables such as mushrooms, bok choy, or snow peas for added nutrients and flavor. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
