Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the frozen udon noodles and cook according to package instructions, about 5-7 minutes. Reserve ½ cup noodle water, then drain and rinse noodles under cold water.
- In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and chopped shallot, sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
- Stir in gochujang and cook for 30 seconds. Gradually pour in heavy cream and reserved noodle water, stirring constantly. Add soy sauce and gochugaru, simmer for 3-5 minutes until thickened.
- Add the cooked udon noodles to the skillet, tossing to coat evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes over low heat to absorb the sauce flavors.
- Transfer noodles to a bowl. Garnish with Parmesan cheese and green onions. Serve immediately while hot.

Notes
For a heartier meal, consider adding cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu for protein. Adjust spice levels by reducing gochujang or adding more cream if too spicy.
