Notes
- Gochugaru is Korean chilli flakes. Adjust the taste as per your spice tolerance. You can also skip it entirely.
- Noodles cooking water helps thicken the sauce a bit.
- I haven't added any extra salt, not even while cooking noodles. The sauces are already quite salty.
- If adding any veggies like carrots, peppers, or bokchoy, add them in the order of their cooking time. Hard veggies will go in first followed by the rest.
