First, boil the noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside. In a separate pan, heat up some vegetable oil and sauté minced garlic and onion until fragrant. Add diced potatoes and cook until they're tender and slightly crispy.
Now, it's time to add the gochujang sauce. This is the secret ingredient that really sets this dish apart. Gochujang is a Korean fermented chili paste that's used in many Korean dishes. It has a sweet and spicy flavor that's perfect for adding depth to the potatoes and noodles. Add a few spoonfuls of gochujang sauce to the pan, along with some soy sauce and a pinch of cumin and coriander. Mix well and let it cook for a few minutes until the potatoes are fully coated in the sauce.
Finally, it's time to add the noodles. Mix the noodles into the potato mixture until everything is well combined. This dish is best served hot, so be sure to serve it immediately.
