In a medium skillet pre-heated to medium-high heat add the pork sausage. Saute the sausage, breaking it up with a wooden spoon for about five minutes or until no long pink.
Remove the sausage for the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet melt 2 tbsp butter. Add the kimchi and gochujang, stir to combine. Saute the kimchi for a few minutes until slightly caramelized. Next, add in the broth and kimchi juice and bring the sauce to a simmer. Cook the liquid for a few minutes until slightly reduced.
While the sauce simmers bring a large stock pot of water to a boil. Add the udon noodles and cook until al dente; about 10 minutes.
Add the pork sausage back into the skillet with the sauce followed by the udon noodles. It’s easier to use a pair of tongs to transfer the noodles to the skillet. Next, add the remaining 3 tbsp of butter to the skillet. Stir to combine adding salt and pepper as desired.
To serve, place some of the noodles into a bowl. Add cooked quail egg on top followed by sliced garnish. Repeat until all bowls have been filled. Enjoy!
