Ingredients
Scale
Noodles
- 2 Samyang carbo noodles (or your preferred spicy instant noodles)
Corn Cheese Topping
- 1.5 cups frozen or canned corn
- 1 cup grated white cheddar cheese (preferably sharp for flavor)
- 1/2 cup grated mozzarella cheese (for meltiness)
- 1 tbsp Japanese mayonnaise
- 1 tsp sugar
Optional Garnish
- Dried parsley
Instructions
- Cook the Noodles: Prepare the instant noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain if necessary and transfer the noodles to a serving plate ready to receive the corn cheese topping.
- Prepare the Corn Cheese: Heat a pan over high heat and add the corn, white cheddar, mozzarella, Japanese mayo, and sugar all at once. Listen for a sizzling sound indicating the pan is hot enough, then immediately reduce the heat to medium to prevent burning.
- Melt and Combine: Stir the mixture occasionally to ensure the cheese melts evenly and incorporates smoothly with the corn and mayo. Continue until the mixture is bubbly and thoroughly melted, then turn off the heat and let it sit for about 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly.
- Assemble and Serve: Spoon or pour the warm corn cheese mixture generously over the prepared spicy noodles. Garnish with dried parsley if desired to add a touch of color and mild herbal flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy the harmonious blend of spicy noodles and creamy cheesy corn.
Notes
- You can substitute the cheeses with a mix of other melting cheeses if desired, but white cheddar and mozzarella create the ideal creaminess and flavor.
- Using Japanese mayonnaise adds a subtle tang and richness to the corn cheese, enhancing the overall flavor.
- For a less spicy dish, choose less spicy noodle varieties or reduce the seasoning from the noodle packet.
- The recipe serves 2 as a main meal but can be adjusted accordingly.
- Dried parsley is optional but adds a nice visual contrast and a hint of freshness.
