Collected Foods kitchen recipe.

Gochujang Buttered Noodles with Gochugaru Finish: Weeknight Korean heat with clean, layered chili flavor. Collected Foods Korean Chili is the flavor driver.

Serves: 4

Why this spice: A finish of Collected Foods Korean Chili keeps gochujang buttered noodles bright instead of one-note sweet.
