Instructions

- Stir in gochujang, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and brown sugar. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to meld the flavors.
- Add the heavy cream and stir until the sauce becomes smooth. Cook for 2-3 more minutes, adjusting seasoning with more soy sauce or gochujang if needed.

Notes
For a vegetarian option, replace the beef with tofu, tempeh, or extra vegetables like mushrooms or zucchini.
For more heat, add extra gochujang or chili flakes.
Add vegetables like bok choy, spinach, or carrots to make it even more nutritious and colorful.
Instant ramen noodles work perfectly for this recipe, just discard the seasoning packet.
Use coconut cream instead of heavy cream for a dairy-free version.
