Recipe Tips
- Keep the heat low while melting the cheese to prevent it from burning.
- Stir the cheese mixture continuously for a smooth sauce.

- Make sure the noodles are completely coated in the creamy sauce.
- Use less chili oil if you prefer a milder flavor.

Yes. Use less Buldak sauce and chili oil to reduce the heat. You can also add more milk or heavy cream for a milder, creamier flavor.

Can I use different dumplings?
Yes. You can use steamed vegetable, chicken, pork, or shrimp dumplings depending on your preference.
