Keyword: easy, foolproof, noodles, quick, spicy, udon

Servings: 1

Ingredients

• 1 udon noodles
• 3 cloves garlic minced/sliced
• 1 cup milk/heavy cream see notes
• 1 tbsp chili oil see notes
• 1 tbsp sugar
• salt if needed
• 2 slices American cheese see notes
• 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese see notes
• roasted seaweed for garnish
• green onions for garnish

Instructions

• Boil the udon noodles and drain.
• Saute minced garlic on medium heat for a few minutes, make sure not to burn it.
• Add milk and bring to a simmer. Once it starts simmering, add chili oil and stir.
• Turn down the heat to low and add cheese. Stir until the cheese melts.
• Add sugar and stir. Taste for seasoning, add a pinch of salt if needed.
• Add udon and coat noodles with the sauce.
• Serve and garnish with roasted seaweed and green onions. Enjoy!

Notes

*If you use heavy cream instead of milk, you’ll get a thicker sauce. Other substitute options are coconut milk, heavy whipping cream, evaporated milk or half and half.

*I used my own homemade chili oil.

*The amount of chili oil used should be up to preference.

*Use the type of cheese/combination and amount of cheese that you prefer. Season accordingly since it depends on the type of cheese you use. Some cheese will make the sauce saltier than others.
