Homemade Buldak
I love buldak noodles so much that I have to consciously limit the amount of packets I buy/eat. This is my homemade version when I want something slightly healthier (and cheaper!). This dish is spicy, so if you want it slightly milder then add less chilli and chilli powder!

What ingredients do you need for this dish (includes possible substitutions)?
Onion: any type of onion will work here!
Garlic: add as much as you want!
Chilli: I love using scotch bonnet because of the spice level and aromatic taste, but any chilli will work here.
Chilli powder: I’ve added chilli powder as well as fresh chilli because the powder gives an extra dimension of smoky flavour.
Tomato paste: essential to the sauce!
Light chicken stock: can be swapped with vegetable stock if required.
Grated mozzarella: grated cheddar would also work here!
Cream cheese: gives the sauce a creamy texture, could be swapped with a couple tbsp of cream instead!
Light soy sauce: add as much as you want!
