Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pack spicy ramen (like Samyang Buldak Ramen)
- ¼ cup (60 milliliters) shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 green onion, chopped
Sauce Ingredients:
- ½ tablespoon (7.5 milliliters) gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) water
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) sesame oil
Optional Toppings:
- 1 boiled or fried egg
- Sesame seeds
- Crushed seaweed
Instructions
- Prepare the ramen noodles, carefully reserving a minimal amount of cooking liquid to enhance sauce consistency.
- Create a vibrant sauce by whisking together gochujang, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and additional water until smooth and well-integrated.
- Transfer the drained noodles back to the cooking pot and thoroughly incorporate the sauce mixture, ensuring even coating.
- Add the buldak flavor packet for an extra kick of intensity, stirring continuously over gentle heat.
- Allow the sauce to reduce and thicken, creating a glossy and clinging texture around the noodles.
- Remove the pot from heat and generously scatter mozzarella cheese across the surface of the noodles.
- Cover the pot and let the residual warmth melt the cheese completely, creating a luxurious, stretchy topping that blends with the spicy sauce.
- After the cheese has melted and become wonderfully gooey, serve immediately to enjoy the optimal temperature and texture of this fiery, cheesy ramen dish.
Notes
- Customize heat levels by adjusting gochujang quantity for those with different spice tolerances.
- Choose low-fat mozzarella or dairy-free cheese alternatives for healthier or vegan adaptations.
- Experiment with protein additions like shredded chicken or tofu to make the dish more substantial and nutritionally balanced.
- Add fresh green onions or sesame seeds as a quick garnish to enhance visual appeal and introduce extra flavor layers.
