Preparation
Boil the noodles
- Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the noodles; stir gently to separate.
- Boil, 6 to 8 min., until al dente.
- Reserving ½ cup cooking water (double for 4 portions), drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
Cook the beef & bok choy
- Meanwhile, remove the root ends of the bok choy; roughly chop.
- In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the tomato paste and gochujang. Cook, stirring often, 1 to 2 min., until dark red.
- Add the beef; season with all but a pinch of the spices. Cook, breaking up the meat, 2 to 4 min., until partially cooked.
- Add the bok choy and cook, stirring often, 2 min., until the beef* is cooked through and the bok choy is tender.
Make the salad
- Meanwhile, roughly chop the kimchi.
- In a medium bowl, combine the apple, kimchi, a drizzle of oil, the remaining spices and S&P.
Combine the noodles
- To the pan, add the noodles and ½ the reserved cooking water.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, 1 to 2 min., until combined; season with S&P.
- If the sauce seems dry, gradually add the remaining cooking water until you achieve your desired consistency.
Plate your dish
- Divide the noodles between your bowls.
- Garnish with the peanuts.
- Serve the salad on the side. Bon appétit!
