Notes

Feel free to adjust the spice level by modifying the amount of chili paste.
Rinsing noodles is crucial for preventing clumping and achieving a cleaner dish.
Leftovers can be stored separately: the broth lasts 3 days, while noodles are best consumed within 2 days.
For a fun twist, try adding a splash of sesame oil for extra flavor or experiment with different garnishes for a personalized touch!
