How can I make this dish less spicy?

If you prefer a milder flavor, you can reduce the amount of Samyang Buldak hot sauce or opt for a non-spicy sauce instead. Using regular tomato sauce instead of a spicy variant will also help. You can easily adjust the heat level to accommodate your preferences and ensure that everyone can enjoy the dish.

What cheese can I use instead of mozzarella?

If mozzarella is not available, you can use any cheese that melts well, such as provolone or cheddar. Each type of cheese will offer a different flavor profile. However, it's the stretchiness of mozzarella that makes this dish special, so if you can find it, it’s the best option for authentic results.

How do I store leftovers?

To store leftovers, let the dish cool down completely and transfer it to an airtight container. You can keep it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply place it in the oven or microwave, adding a splash of water if needed to keep it moist.

Can this dish be made ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare this dish ahead of time. Simply assemble it and store it in the refrigerator without baking. When you're ready to serve, just pop it in the oven until heated through and the cheese is melted.
