Gochujang Pancetta Udon

Gochujang Pancetta Udon is a Korean-style spicy stir-fried udon where pancetta is rendered until glossy, then cooked with golden garlic and softened button mushrooms. The noodles are tossed through a bold gochujang-and-chilli sauce (with soy sauces, sesame oil, sugar, and black pepper) and simmered briefly to soak up the flavour, finished with sesame seeds for a nutty crunch.
