Ingredients
Kosher salt
1/2 pound long noodles
1/3 cup unsweetened peanut butter
1 cup chopped kimchi, divided, brine reserved
Directions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and season generously with kosher salt until it tastes like seawater.
Add the noodles to boiling water and cook according to package directions until al dente, about 4–6 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta cooking water before draining.
In a large bowl, whisk together the peanut butter with 3 tablespoons of the reserved kimchi brine until smooth and sauce-like.
Add the drained noodles to the peanut butter mixture and toss gently, adding a splash of reserved pasta water as needed to reach your desired sauce consistency.
Fold in three-quarters of the chopped kimchi, reserving the remaining quarter for garnish.
Divide noodles among serving bowls and top each with reserved chopped kimchi. Serve immediately while warm.
