Korean Style Noodles with Sausage and Bok Choy
We love, love noodles in our house- so I am always experimenting with different flavors. This one is with some Korean flavorings- especially the gochujang paste which is a Korean chili paste. It is delicious and can be used for marinades as well. This dish was yummy!!
- 12 ounces any style noodles, cooked according to package directions, keep aside
- 2 tablespoons peanut oil
- 4 to 5 sausage links, casings removed and crumbled, I used Asian style pork sausages
- 2 cups Cremini and Shitake mushrooms, sliced

Gochujang Sauce

- 2 tablespoons soy sauce

- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 2 tablespoons water

Mix all the ingredients in a small bowl and taste it. Add more paste if more spiciness is desired. Keep aside.
Heat a wok like pan with the peanut oil. Add the sausage and brown on medium high heat for 4 to 5 minutes. Take the sausage out with a slotted spoon. Add the mushrooms and bok choy whites. Saute on medium high heat for 3 to 4 minutes. Return the sausage back to the pan with the noodles. Add the sauce and mix well. Top with the bok choy greens. Mix well and taste for seasonings. Serve with a soft fried egg on top.
