Ingredients

  • 1 cup water
  • 3 oz dry wide glass noodles (see Note 1)
  • 4 oz tofu, rice cakes, or veggie balls (*optional)
  • 1 to 3 tbsp Samyang Buldak Hot Sauce (approx. 1 to 2 packets of sauce from the instant ramen packs)
  • Salt or soy sauce (to taste; see Note 2)

Optional Toppings

Instructions

  • Add wide glass noodles and water to a stock pot or deep skillet over high heat. Once boiling, turn the heat down to medium-low and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes (depending on how soft you like your noodles; see Note 1).
  • Once noodles are nearly cooked, add the tofu, rice cakes, veggie balls, and hot sauce.
  • Stir frequently to prevent noodles from sticking, until most of the water has evaporated and you’re left with a thick sauce.
  • Plate and top with furikake, scallions or cilantro, and cheese (if desired).

Notes

  1. Glass Noodles: I prefer using wide glass noodles for these fiery noodles. They’re much more satisfying to slurp. If using thinner glass noodles, they will cook faster so reduce the simmering time.
  2. Salt or Soy Sauce: Depending on how much buldak hot sauce you add, you may need to add some additional salt or soy sauce.
