Common Questions
- → Can I use a different meat?
Yes, ground chicken, turkey, or beef work well and offer lighter or deeper flavors to the dish.

It's moderately spicy due to gochujang and red pepper flakes. Adjust the heat to your taste.
- → Can I add vegetables?
Absolutely. Mushrooms, spinach, or bell peppers can be sautéed and layered in for more nutrition.
- → What noodles should I use?
Instant ramen noodles work best; cook them briefly so they hold up during baking.

A crisp lager or lightly chilled red wine balances the dish's richness and spice nicely.

No, but you can substitute meat with plant-based alternatives and add extra vegetables.
