Spicy Soy Garlic Butter Noodles with Beef

I’ve been making a lot of buttered noodles lately. It’s a comfort meal that I always fall back on and it’s so easy to change it up to keep from getting bored. This version of buttered noodles is inspired by Korean flavours, it’s spicy with a sweet umami flavour. I use both gouchujang and red chili flakes so you’re definitely going to get a kick from the spice. Feel free to decrease the amount if you prefer a more mild version.

What You’ll Need To Make These Spicy Noodles

Quick to put together, this Spicy Soy Garlic Butter Noodles with Beef recipe is the perfect flavourful last minute meal. Made with gouchujang and soy sauce, the noodles are perfectly coated and will have you asking for seconds!

  • fettuccine: or any noodles you have on hand. Instant noodles can be used as well! 
  • butter: unsalted
  • ground beef: I used lean ground beef. If you have a fattier one, be sure to drain off the excess fat after cooking.
  • garlic
  • crushed red pepper flakes
  • gouchujang (고추장), aka hot pepper paste
  • soy sauce
  • pasta water
  • parmesan to top
  • optional: salt for the ground beef. However, I find this recipe to be salty enough without having to add additional salt.

How To Make This Recipe

  • Bring a pot of water to a boil and add in your pasta when ready. Cooking until al dente (see your pasta container for instructions).
  • While the water is boiling, in a medium sized pan, melt your butter and start browning your ground beef, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as you go along.
  • Once mostly, browned, add in the garlic and sauté.

  • Next, add in the crushed red pepper flakes, gouchujang, and soy sauce. Mix with the wooden spoon until combined.
  • Add in the pasta noodles. Pour in the reserved butter, pasta water, and parmesan. Stir to combine and to coat the pasta with the sauce.
  • Top with a little more parmesan, crush red flakes, and serve.

Recipe Variations

  • swap ground beef for ground chicken, turkey, or pork.
  • skip the meat entirely and make it vegetarian with some mushrooms or chickpeas instead.
  • fettuccini can be swapped with any noodles of your choice.
  • onions and shallots would be a great addition to this recipe.

Tips and Notes

  • add in green onions if you have some!
  • this recipe can easily be doubled or tripled.
  • to reheat as a meal prep, pop it in a microwave. If you are reheating it on the stovetop, I suggest adding a splash of water to the pan.
  • I use this pot from Zwilling to easily drain my pasta with and it automatically reserves some pasta water for me so that I won’t accidentally pour it down the drain!
