Servings: 1 | Prep time: 5 min | Cook time: 10 min

Ingredients:

Method:

1. Sauté the aromatics:
   In a pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 2–3 minutes until translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

2. Build the sauce:
   Stir in the Buldak sauce and 1 tsp gochujang. Mix well so the onions and garlic are evenly coated.

3. Add seasoning and water:
   Sprinkle in the Buldak dry seasoning, then pour in 2 cups of water. Stir and bring to a boil.

4. Cook the noodles:
   Add the ramen noodles directly to the sauce. Cook according to package instructions, stirring occasionally to ensure the noodles absorb the flavors.

5. Make it creamy:
   When the noodles are almost done, stir in 2–3 tbsp heavy cream until the sauce turns creamy and evenly coats the noodles.

6. Top and serve:
   Turn off the heat. Top with a generous amount of mozzarella cheese, cover the pan for 1–2 minutes until melted, then garnish with chopped chives. Serve immediately.

Tips:

• For extra cheesiness, add a mix of cheddar and mozzarella.

• Adjust the gochujang amount if you prefer milder heat.

• Covering the pan with a lid when melting the cheese helps it become gooey and stretchy.

• You can also add cooked chicken, shrimp, or vegetables for a more filling meal.
