FAQs

Can I make this with beef or tofu? Yes. Use beef slices or firm tofu in place of chicken. Adjust cooking time to heat through without overcooking.

Can I prep the broth ahead? Yes. Reheat gently; add noodles just before serving to prevent sogginess.

How can I adjust heat levels? Increase gochujang or chili crisp for more heat; reduce for milder flavor.
