Cook the noodles according to package directions. Drain and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking, then set aside. While the noodles cook, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated pork and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.

Add the sliced yellow onion and bell pepper to the same skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften. Return the cooked pork to the skillet. Pour in the prepared gochujang sauce and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently. Add the cooked noodles and spinach to the skillet. Toss everything together until the noodles are well coated with the sauce and the spinach has wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Serve immediately, garnished with sliced scallions and sesame seeds.
