💡 Pro Tips
- ✓Reserve more noodle water than you think you'll need to adjust the sauce consistency.
- ✓Use a non-stick pan for cooking bacon to prevent sticking and ensure even crispiness.
- ✓For a richer flavor, let the gochujang sauce sit for a few minutes before mixing it with the cream and egg yolks.
- ✓If you don't have Korean udon, you can substitute with spaghetti or fettuccine for a similar texture.
