Ingredients
- 2 Samyang carbo noodles (or your spicy instant noodle of choice)
- 1.5 cups frozen or canned corn
- 1 cup grated white cheddar
- 1/2 cup grated mozzarella
- 1 tablespoon Japanese mayo
- 1 teaspoon sugar
Instructions
- Step 1: Cook the instant noodles according to the package instructions, then transfer them to a serving plate.
- Step 2: In a pan over high heat, add the corn, white cheddar, mozzarella, Japanese mayo, and sugar. When you hear a sizzling sound, reduce the heat to medium.

Tips & Variations

- Add chopped green onions or sesame seeds for extra flavor and crunch.
Storage
Store any leftover corn cheese mixture separately in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on low heat to avoid burning the cheese. It’s best to prepare noodles fresh as they can become soggy when stored.
