Pro Tips for the Perfect Buldak Carbonara Ramen

  1. Don’t Overcook the Noodles: Keep them slightly firm (al dente) to hold up the creamy sauce.
  2. Balance the Heat: If it’s too spicy, add extra milk or cheese to mellow it out.
  3. Use Fresh Cheese: Freshly grated Parmesan melts better and enhances the sauce’s richness.
  4. Mix the Egg Yolk Off Heat: Stirring it in last ensures a silky-smooth sauce without scrambling.
  5. Enhance the Umami: A dash of soy sauce or miso paste can take the flavor up a notch.
