Prepare the ingredients
Slice the onion and green bell pepper into thin strips. Peel and devein the shrimp if needed. Chop the kimchi into bite-sized pieces. Mix the gochujang with water in a small bowl until smooth.

Cook the noodles
Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add the fresh noodles and cook according to package directions, usually 3-4 minutes. Drain well and divide between two serving bowls.

Stir-fry the protein and vegetables
Heat oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and stir-fry for 2 minutes until pink. Add the onion and green pepper, cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
