→ Main Ingredients
01 -
1 pack spicy ramen (like Samyang Buldak Ramen)
02 -
1/2 tablespoon gochujang (Korean chili paste)
03 -
1 tablespoon soy sauce
04 -
1 tablespoon brown sugar
05 -
2 tablespoons water (for the sauce)
06 -
1 teaspoon sesame oil
07 -
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
→ For Topping
08 -
1 green onion, chopped
09 -
1 boiled or fried egg (optional)
10 -
Sesame seeds (optional)
11 -
Crushed seaweed (optional)
# Instructions:
01 -
Cook your ramen noodles according to the package directions. When they're done, drain most of the water but leave about 2-3 tablespoons in the pot with the noodles.
02 -
While the noodles are cooking, grab a small bowl and mix together the gochujang, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and the extra 2 tablespoons of water. Stir until the sugar dissolves and everything is well combined.
03 -
Return the drained noodles to the pot and pour in your sauce mixture. If you're using the flavor packet that came with the ramen, add that in too. Stir everything over low heat for about a minute until the sauce thickens slightly and nicely coats all the noodles.
04 -
Turn off the heat and sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over your noodles. Cover the pot with a lid and let it sit for 1-2 minutes until the cheese gets all melty and gooey.
05 -
Transfer your cheesy, spicy noodles to a bowl. Top with chopped green onions and any other toppings you like - a fried egg, sesame seeds, or some crushed seaweed all work great. Grab your chopsticks and dig in while it's hot!
# Notes:
01 -
If you're sensitive to spice, use less gochujang or skip the spice packet that comes with the ramen.
02 -
Want to make it a more filling meal? Add some grilled chicken, tofu, or sliced beef.
03 -
Try a mix of cheddar and mozzarella cheese for even more flavor.
