Ingredients needed 🛒1 servings
- Usamgyeop 150g
- Onion 150g
- Milk 360ml
- Curry powder 2 spoons
- Cheddar cheese 30g (1 slice)
- Chicken stock 1 spoon
- Pre-cooked pasta noodles 150g
- Crushed pepper a little
- Parsley powder a little
Recipe 🍳
- Thinly slice the onion. Boil the pasta noodles in salted water in advance and drain.
- In a dry pan, add 150g of usamgyeop and 150g of sliced onion. Sauté until the meat fat renders and the onion becomes limp.
- Pour 360ml of milk into the pan, then add 2 spoons of curry powder, 30g of cheddar cheese, and 1 spoon of chicken stock for umami. Add them in order.
- Stir well to prevent lumps, and bring to a boil to create a thick curry cream base.
- Once the sauce boils, add 150g of pre-cooked pasta noodles. Simmer for about 2-3 minutes, stirring, until the sauce coats the noodles and reaches the desired thick consistency.
- Twirl the pasta onto a plate, and garnish with a sprinkle of crushed pepper and parsley powder.
- In a pan, sauté usamgyeop and sliced onion until the meat is fully cooked.
- Add milk, curry powder, cheddar cheese, and chicken stock. Stir well and heat to make a sauce.
- Add the cooked pasta to the sauce, simmer until thickened, and garnish with crushed pepper and parsley.
Cooking tips 💡
- If you don't have usamgyeop, cocktail shrimp or thinly sliced pork also work very well with the sauce.
- Cheddar cheese makes the sauce thicker and saltier, so it's an essential substitute for heavy cream.
