Method
 

  1. Boil water and cook buldak ramen noodles according to package instructions.
  2. Reserve a little noodle water, then drain most of the water.
  3. Return noodles to low heat and mix in the spicy sauce packet.
  4. Add milk, heavy cream, butter, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir until creamy.
  5. Lower heat and stir in egg yolk quickly for a silky sauce.
  6. Add parmesan and mozzarella cheese and stir until melted.

Notes

Keep the heat very low when adding the egg yolk to avoid scrambling. Best served immediately while hot and creamy.
