Instructions

1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a medium frying pan over medium heat. Add the finely chopped garlic and fry until golden and fragrant, stirring often to prevent burning.
2. Add the noodles to the pan, pour in 375 ml of boiling water, then increase the heat to high to simmer. Cook until the noodles are tender and most of the water has evaporated.
3. Stir in the spicy sauce packet gradually, starting with a smaller amount if you prefer less heat, as these noodles are very spicy.
4. Mix in 5 tablespoons of grated mozzarella and 2 tablespoons of double cream to create a creamy sauce coating the noodles thoroughly.
5. Add the sliced spring onion and any desired toppings such as a boiled egg, chili flakes, sesame seeds, or proteins like tofu or ground meat to enrich the dish.

Notes

🌶️ Adjust the amount of sauce and water to control the spice intensity and creaminess according to your taste. Using less water or none at all keeps the heat stronger.
🧀 Adding cheese softens the spiciness while enhancing the flavor and creaminess. Feel free to experiment with different cheeses such as cheddar or American.
🥚 Additional toppings like eggs, green onions, chili flakes, or cooked meat not only add texture but can balance the strong heat.
