1 teaspoon ginger, grated

1 teaspoon brown sugar

Instructions
 

Cook the Udon Noodles: In a large pot of boiling water, cook the udon noodles according to package instructions until they are tender. Drain and set aside.

    Prepare the Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together gochujang, sesame oil, coconut milk, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and brown sugar until smooth and well combined.

      Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet over medium heat, add a splash of sesame oil. Once hot, add the julienned zucchini and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until slightly tender. Stir in the baby spinach and cook for an additional minute until wilted.
