Peanut Gochujang Chili Noodles

1. Boil noodles until al dente. Reserve some noodle water, drain, then rinse noodles briefly under cold water (5–10 sec).
2. In a heatproof bowl, add chili flakes, garlic, green onions, sesame seeds, sugar, peanut butter, and gochujang.
3. Heat avocado oil in a small pot until hot (~350°F). Carefully pour over the bowl ingredients to sizzle. Add soy sauce and mix.
4. Stir in reserved noodle water a little at a time until sauce is creamy and slightly loose. Season with salt.
5. Add noodles, toss well, garnish, and eat immediately.
