This is one of my favorite Korean comfort foods growing up but it’s also known to be quite high calorie. So this was my attempt to make it a little bit healthier while still following a classic recipe. The main changes was using less oils, higher protein noodles, and 0 calorie sweeteners along with a few minor changes!
