Ingredients
- 2 packages ramen noodles
- 2 tablespoons gochujang
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 medium carrot
- ½ cup frozen peas
- 2 stalks green onions
- 1 cup potato chips
Instructions
- 1
Cook the 2 packages ramen noodles according to package directions, but drain them 1 minute before the suggested time so they stay slightly firm. Reserve 1/4 cup of the cooking water.
- 2
While the noodles cook, peel and julienne the 1 medium carrot into thin matchsticks. Slice the 2 green onions thinly, separating white and green parts.
- 3
In a small bowl, mix the 2 tbsp gochujang, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and 2 tbsp of the reserved noodle water to make a smooth sauce.
- 4
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the carrot and white parts of the green onions, stir-frying until the carrot is slightly tender but still crisp, about 2 minutes.
- 5
Add the drained noodles, the sauce, and the 1/2 cup frozen peas to the skillet. Toss everything together over medium heat until the noodles are well coated and the peas are heated through, about 2 minutes. If it looks dry, add a splash more noodle water.

Remove from heat and stir in the green parts of the green onions. Serve immediately, topping each bowl with the 1 cup potato chips crushed lightly in your hand for crunch.
