Ingredients
  

For the Noodles and Edamame
  • 200 g Dried egg noodles Opt for high-quality noodles for the best texture.
  • 300 g Edamame beans Fresh or frozen, cooked until tender.
  • 2 Tbsp Salt For boiling the noodles.
For the Sauce
  • 3 Tbsp Gochujang Adjust for desired spice level.
  • 100 g Sharp cheddar cheese Grated for maximum flavor.
  • 1/2 cup Milk Bring to room temperature for a creamier sauce.
  • 2 stalks Spring onion Sliced, reserve some for garnish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. If using frozen edamame, place them in a bowl and cover with boiling water for 5 minutes until defrosted. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large pot, boil salted water over high heat. Add the dried egg noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 3-5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, combine gochujang, grated cheddar, milk, and the majority of the sliced spring onion. Mix well until smooth and combined.
Cooking
  1. Add the hot, drained egg noodles to the sauce mixture and toss well until fully coated in the spicy sauce.
  2. Gently stir in the cooked edamame until evenly distributed throughout the noodles.
  3. Transfer the spicy edamame noodles to a serving bowl, sprinkle with the reserved spring onion, and enjoy immediately.

Notes

For the best texture, avoid rushing the noodle cooking. You can adjust the spice level by adding more gochujang or sliced chili peppers as desired. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
