FAQs

Can I use different noodles? Yes. Any fresh or dried noodles that cook quickly will work; adjust cook time so they stay al dente.
I don’t have gochujang. what can I use? Use sriracha or a small amount of chili paste with a touch of miso for depth.
Can I make this ahead? Broth can be made ahead and reheated; add noodles when ready to serve to avoid sogginess.
