Ingredients
- 2 packs of instant ramen noodles (remove seasoning packets)
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp ginger, minced
- 2 tbsp gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1 tbsp gochugaru (Korean chili flakes)
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
- ½ cup milk or cream
- 2 large eggs
- 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- Sesame seeds (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Heat oil in a pot over medium heat. Sauté garlic and ginger until fragrant, about 1 minute.

- Stir in soy sauce and sugar until combined.
- Pour in broth and bring to a gentle simmer.

Notes
- For extra heat, add a dash of Korean hot sauce or sprinkle additional gochugaru.
- Substitute coconut milk for a dairy-free option—adjust sweetness if desired.
