We teamed up with our friends at Mother-In-Law's Kimchi to create a decadent meal to spice up your Valentine's Day date night.

  2. Heat butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until melted.
  3. Add chopped House Napa Cabbage Kimchi and Tangy Gojuchang, stirring occasionally, until soft and caramelized, 3-4 minutes.

  5. Transfer cooked Pad Thai Noodles to the mixture using tongs, and stir until the noodles are well coated, about 2 minutes.
