Acidic ingredients like lime and lemon juice temper the heat and also help the underlying flavours to really shine. Lime wedges are amongst my go-to toppings.

Stir a dollop of nut butter through hot noodles to tone down the spice - it has the added benefit of creating a creamy satay depth of flavour.

Eggs are a budget friendly option to make your Samyang less spicy. I love a fried egg on top, but you can also try boiled, poached, or even scrambled.
