A SPICY KOREAN NOODLE SOUP



A Spicy Korean Noodle Soup image

An "Anything Goes" would-be Korean soup. But if you don't have basic korean ingredients around the home, then I include my typical substitutions. * Kochukaru and Kochujang are typical Korean ingredients for Hot Pepper Flakes and Hot Pepper Paste (in that order) * If you do not have these available, I have included Cayenne Pepper and Maggi Sweet Chili Sauce as you can get the at most grocery stores This recipe was inspired by About.com's Naomi Imatome-Yun (Korean Cooking). This is my favorite variation
