Tried Korean noodles with kaffir lime leaves ㅋㅋ

Last night I wanted to eat Korean noodles but didn't have any scallions in the kitchen, so I tried tearing up some kaffir lime leaves instead ㅋㅋㅋ The smell was weird but good, like Thai fragrant mixed with Korean spicy. The taste was... uh, a bit odd but also deliciously new, lol. I think the spiciness from the noodles really helped cover up the slightly strong kaffir lime leaf smell. Has anyone else tried mixing Thai herbs with Korean noodles like this? I wonder if there are any better recipes out there. With this humid weather in Chiang Mai right now, hot noodles are just perfect, seriously ㅋㅋ

Could someone advise if curry leaves would work similarly in Korean spicy noodles, since that is more commonly available in Bengaluru markets? I am curious how the aromatic profile would blend with the gochugaru heat.
