Gochujang Miso Ramen Noodles
I am loving these gochujang miso ramen noodles, they have SO much flavor. This gochujang noodles recipe begins with a simple sauce made of gochujang, miso, chili, sesame, vinegar and fresh garlic, all tossed with ramen noodles and scallions. It is so so easy to come together – and you’re ready to eat in no time.
I’m all about quick ramen noodles (probably make some variation once a week like this Ramen Noodle Stir Fry), and these might just be part of my new rotation.

How To Make your Ramen Noodles
Make your gochujang sauce
Make your sauce by mixing gochujang, miso paste, chili oil, sesame oil, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, garlic and warm water. Set aside.
Cook your ramen
Next, cook ramen according to the package instructions in a pan or pot. In a big bowl, add in your cooked ramen with a spider or tongs, bringing a tiny bit of ramen water in the bowl as well while transferring, and draining the excess ramen water.
Assemble and toss
Toss over your sauce, add in scallions and toss until it’s mixed throughout.
Plate, and serve with more scallions, sesame seeds, gochugaru and an egg yolk to mix it all together!
Tips, Tricks and Substitutions
For ingredients
- If you aren’t a huge spicy person, I would recommend removing the chili oil from the recipe, since the gochujang adds a nice hint of spice. I prefer a little more spice, so I love the addition of chili oil!
- If you don’t have access to miso paste, I would recommend subbing with tahini/sesame paste or peanut butter.
Gochujang* Gochujang is a fermented red chili paste that is a popular ingredient in Korean cuisine and cooking. It’s salty, sweet and savory.
White Miso Paste* Miso paste is a traditional Japanese seasoning made from fermented soybeans with salt. It also includes kōji which is a mold that is also used to make sake.
Gochugaru* Gochugaru is Korean chili pepper powder.
