3tbspgochujang paste

2tbspcoconut aminos
½tspsea saltmore or less to taste
2tbspblack sesame seeds
2green onionsfinely chopped
Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the pasta. Generously salt the water and add 1 cube of vegan "chicken" bouillon. This adds SO much flavor to your noodles. Cook until al dente and drain, reserving 1 cup of pasta water.
Add a splash of water, cooking oil, or vegan butter (for the most flavor) to the same pan and place it over medium heat. Add in the shallot and garlic and sauté until tender and fragrant - about 2 minutes. Add in the gochujang, deglazing with a splash of water, and stir to emulsify. Pour in the coconut milk and add the coconut aminos. Stir to combine and season to taste with salt.
Return the noodles to the pan and gently fold them into the sauce, adding pasta water for desired thickness. Optional to add a bit of cornstarch or arrowroot powder to thicken, if desired, but it is not necessary.
Serve hot, topped with sesame seeds and green onions.
