Ingredients
- 1 cup of ARIH Gochujang Butter Cup Noodles
- Included seasoning powder
- Included gochujang butter sauce
- Sausage, sliced into rounds
- 1 tbsp ketchup
- About 5 tbsp water
- 4 slices cheese
- A little cooking oil
Instructions
Step 1: Brown the Sausage
Heat a little cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the sliced sausage and cook until golden brown on both sides and cooked through.
Step 2: Prepare the Gochujang Butter Sauce
Reduce the heat to low. Add the ketchup, seasoning powder, and gochujang butter sauce from the ARIH noodle cup. Pour in about 5 tablespoons of water and stir until everything is well combined and the sausage is evenly coated in the sauce.
Step 3: Add the Cheese
Arrange the cheese slices over the sausage and sauce. Cover the pan and cook over low heat until the cheese melts into a smooth, gooey layer.
Step 4: Cook the Noodles
Prepare the ARIH noodles according to the package instructions, without adding the seasoning packets. Drain the noodles and transfer them to a serving bowl.
Step 5: Combine and Serve
Pour the cheesy sausage mixture and sauce over the cooked noodles. Toss everything together until the noodles are thoroughly coated in the rich, cheesy gochujang butter sauce.
Serve immediately while hot and enjoy the delicious melted-cheese pull!
Recipe Tips
- Brown the sausage well to develop a deeper, savory flavor.
- Keep the heat low when adding the sauce and cheese to prevent burning.
- Add the water gradually if you prefer a thicker sauce.

- Serve immediately for the best texture and the ultimate cheese pull.
Variations
- Extra Cheesy: Add shredded mozzarella for an even stretchier cheese pull.
- Spicier Noodles: Add extra gochujang or Korean chili flakes.
- Vegetable Addition: Mix in sliced mushrooms, green onions, or bell peppers.
- Protein Swap: Replace the sausage with cooked chicken or another protein of your choice.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is gochujang?
Gochujang is a Korean fermented chili paste known for its spicy, savory, slightly sweet flavor. It adds depth and a distinctive Korean-inspired taste to sauces and noodle dishes.
Can I use a different type of cheese?
Yes. Mozzarella, cheddar, or American cheese can work well. Choose a cheese that melts smoothly for the creamiest result.
Can I make this recipe less spicy?
Yes. Use less gochujang butter sauce if possible and add a little extra water to mellow the intensity. Keep in mind that the included seasoning may also contribute heat.
Why should I cook the noodles separately?
Cooking the noodles separately helps you control their texture and prevents them from absorbing too much sauce before serving.
