Notes

  • You can adjust the amount of chili paste and red pepper flakes to control the spiciness of the dish.
  • Use any type of noodles you prefer, such as ramen, spaghetti, or rice noodles.
  • For added protein, consider adding tofu, chicken, or shrimp while sautéing the garlic and ginger.
  • Sesame seeds can be lightly toasted beforehand for extra flavor.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture as noodles can soften if left to sit too long.
