Prepare Spice Mixture: In a large heatproof bowl, combine Gochugaru, garlic, sesame, msg (if used) and chopped spring onion.
Sizzle Oil: Heat 2-3 tbsp of oil in a pan over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Carefully pour the hot oil over the Gochugaru mixture to release the flavors.
Season: Stir in the soy sauce and sugar to the spiced oil mixture. Mix well and adjust the seasoning to taste.
Cook Dumplings and Noodles: In a separate pot, boil water and cook the frozen dumplings and noodles according to the package instructions until fully cooked.
Combine: Transfer the cooked noodles and dumplings to the bowl with the Gochugaru mixture. Add some of the noodle cooking liquid (as needed) to create a soup consistency. Mix well to coat the dumplings and noodles in the flavorful sauce.
Garnish and Serve: Garnish the soup with chopped spring onions, crispy fried shallots, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Serve hot and enjoy!
