- Cook Noodles: Boil salted water and cook the fresh noodles for about 3 minutes until al dente. Drain the noodles and set them aside.
- Stir-Fry Vegetables: Heat sesame oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped mixed vegetables and stir-fry for approximately 5 minutes until they become tender but still retain some crispness.

Notes
- Adjust chili paste quantity based on your preferred spice level.
- Use fresh noodles for the best texture; rice or egg noodles both work well.
- Kimchi can be store-bought or homemade; taste the kimchi first to adjust saltiness accordingly.
- Feel free to add protein like tofu, chicken, or shrimp for a heartier dish.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the noodles at their best texture.
