Instructions
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook udon noodles according to package instructions until chewy. Drain and set aside.

Add cubed tofu to the skillet and sauté gently until lightly browned on all sides, about 4-5 minutes.
Stir in gochujang paste and soy sauce, cooking for 1-2 minutes to combine flavors.
Lower heat and pour in heavy cream, stirring continuously until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Add cooked udon noodles to the skillet and toss thoroughly to coat in the creamy gochujang sauce.
