Directions
Step 1: Cook Samyang Korean Noodles
Begin by carefully following the instructions on the package to cook the Samyang Korean noodles. Typically, this involves boiling the noodles until they reach the desired tenderness. Once cooked, drain the noodles thoroughly and set them aside.
Step 2: Sauté Enoki Mushrooms
In a pan, heat 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the delicate enoki mushrooms to the pan and sauté them until they become tender and achieve a golden hue. After sautéing, set the mushrooms aside to cool, allowing their flavors to meld.
Step 3: Prepare Filling
In a spacious bowl, bring together the cooked Samyang noodles, the cooled sautéed enoki mushrooms, and a luscious blend of either grated cheddar or velvety mozzarella. Gently toss the ingredients together to ensure an even distribution of flavors, creating a harmonious filling for your spring rolls.
Step 4: Prepare Dipping Sauce
In a small bowl, craft the dipping sauce by combining 2 tablespoons of sizzling vegetable oil, Japanese mayo, and the enticing Samyang spicy Buldak sauce. Stir the ingredients thoroughly to create an irresistible dipping sauce, and then set it aside to let the flavors meld.
Step 5: Assemble Spring Rolls
Fill a large, shallow dish with warm water. Submerge one rice paper sheet at a time in the water for approximately 10 seconds until it becomes pliable.
Then, place the moistened rice paper on a clean surface. Spoon a portion of the noodle and mushroom mixture onto the center of the rice paper.
Next, drizzle a bit of the prepared dipping sauce onto the filling. Carefully fold in the sides of the rice paper, creating a neat package, and then tightly roll it up, ensuring the edges are sealed.
Step 6: Repeat and Serve
Repeat the assembly process for the remaining rice paper sheets and filling until all your delectable spring rolls are ready for serving.
Step 7: Arrange and Garnish
Artfully arrange the completed spicy noodle spring rolls on a serving platter.
Drizzle the remaining dipping sauce over the spring rolls for an added burst of flavor.
Elevate the visual appeal by sprinkling the exotic Furikake seasoning on top, infusing the dish with an extra layer of taste and texture.
