(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Asian

Ingredients

  • 5 tbsp. unsalted butter, divided
  • 1 cup finely chopped kimchi, plus 1/3 cup kimchi juice
  • 2 tbsp. gochujang (Korean hot pepper paste)
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 lb. fresh or frozen udon noodles
  • Kosher salt
  • 4 large egg yolks, room temp
  • 3 scallions, white and pale-green parts only, thinly sliced on a diagonal
  • 1 tbsp. toasted sesame seeds

Directions

  1. Heat 2 tbsp. butter in a large skillet over medium-high. Add chopped kimchi and gochujang and cook, stirring occasionally, until kimchi is softened and lightly caramelized, about 4 minutes. Add broth and kimchi juice and bring to a simmer. Cook until liquid is slightly reduced, about 3 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, boil noodles as directed.

  3. Using tongs, transfer noodles to skillet and add remaining 3 tbsp. butter; cook, tossing often, until sauce coats noodles, about 2 minutes. Season with salt, if needed. Divide among bowls and top with egg yolks, scallions and sesame seeds.
