Notes
For a protein boost, add tofu, chicken, or beef to make the dish heartier.
If you prefer a spicier dish, increase the amount of gochujang or add chili flakes.
This recipe is vegetarian, but you can substitute the vegetable broth with mushroom broth for added umami.
For gluten-free, use gluten-free noodles and tamari or gluten-free soy sauce.
