Welcome back to another Quick Meals post!

Alright noodle lovers, I’ve got this simple recipe up my sleeves that only takes 10 minutes (or less!) to prepare. If you’re a fan of smooth, creamy noodles with a spicy kick, then this spicy cheesy udon noodles is perfect for you! It’s definitely a favorite in our household.

The beauty of it is that most of the ingredients can easily be found in your pantry or fridge! It’s a pretty effortless dish to make and a great choice to be part of your dinner rotation.

Spicy Cheesy Udon Noodles

Essentially, this dish is simply udon noodles coated in a sauce made from garlic, milk, chili oil, and a cheese combination of your choice. My cheese combo just so happens to be American cheese (*gasp* I know. But it’s so good!) and mozzarella cheese. However, you can swap that out with whichever ones you please.

how to make easy 10-minute spicy cheesy udon noodles

3. Add milk and bring to a simmer. Once it starts simmering, add chili oil and stir.
4. Turn down the heat to low and add cheese. Stir until the cheese melts.

notes for 10-minute spicy cheesy udon noodles

• Milk substitutes: 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.
