-

 

If you're looking for a quick dinner packed with bold flavor, these Gochujang Noodles with Blackened Bay Scallops deliver. Tender bay scallops seasoned with blackening spice are tossed with noodles coated in a savory, spicy gochujang sauce, then finished with fresh peppers, crunchy peanuts, green onions, and sesame seeds. It's the perfect combination of heat, sweetness, crunch, and umami.

Ingredients

For the Gochujang Sauce

  • 1/4 cup gochujang paste
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp honey
  • Juice from 1/2 lime (about 1 tbsp)
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

For the Noodles

  • 8 oz spaghetti (or your favorite noodle)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/3 cup sliced green bell pepper
  • 1/3 cup sliced red bell pepper
  • 1/3 cup sliced yellow or orange bell pepper
  • 1 jalapeño, thinly sliced
  • 1/3 cup crushed peanuts
  • Chopped green onions, for garnish
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish

For the Scallops

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine the gochujang paste, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, lime juice, and minced garlic. Mix until smooth and set aside.

  2. Cook the spaghetti according to the package directions. Drain and set aside.

  3. Pat the scallops dry with paper towels and season generously with the blackening rub.

  4. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the scallops for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooked through and lightly browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  5. Reduce the heat to medium and add the olive oil. Cook the bell peppers and jalapeño for 4–5 minutes, or until softened but still slightly crisp.

  6. Pour the gochujang sauce into the skillet and stir for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

  7. Add the cooked noodles and scallops back to the skillet. Toss everything together until the noodles are evenly coated in the sauce.

  8. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the crushed peanuts.

  9. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

  10. Enjoy!

Tips

  • Prefer larger scallops? Sea scallops work great in this recipe too.
  • Add extra gochujang or sliced jalapeños if you like more heat.
  • For a little freshness, squeeze extra lime juice over the finished dish.
  • This recipe is also fantastic with chicken, shrimp, squid, or even thinly sliced steak.
