Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1. Cook the Noodles

FAQs
1. Can I use other types of noodles instead of Maggi?
Yes! You can substitute Maggi with other instant noodles or even fresh noodles. Adjust cooking time accordingly.
2. What if I don't have gochujang? Can I use something else?
While gochujang provides the best authentic flavor, you can substitute with sriracha, gochugaru (Korean chili flakes) and a touch of soy sauce for a similar spicy kick.
3. How can I make this recipe less spicy?
Reduce the amount of gochujang or chili garlic sauce you add. You can also add a spoonful of sugar or honey to balance the spice.
