RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS

» How to Make Cheese Ramen

1. Start by boiling water in a pot. Once it's boiling, add the instant ramen noodles. Cook until they are al dente (tender), usually for about 2 minutes. You need to cook them until they are tender but still slightly firm. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Drain the noodles and set them aside.
2. In a pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, add the milk and give it a stir. Next, add the garlic powder, black pepper powder, and the seasonings from the ramen packets. Mix well to combine. After that, add the sriracha sauce and stir. Let it come to a boil while stirring continuously. Add the cheddar cheese slices to the pan and stir until the cheese is fully melted, and the sauce becomes creamy. This should take about 2 minutes.
3. Reduce the heat to low and add the cooked and drained ramen noodles back to the pot. Toss them gently in the milk and cheese mixture for a minute to absorb the flavors. Finally, add the chopped green onions to the ramen and stir to combine. Cook for an additional minute to soften the green onions.
4. To serve, ladle the cheesy ramen into a serving bowl. Top the bowl with an additional cheddar cheese slice and garnish with more chopped green onions and a pinch of chili flakes if you like some extra heat. Enjoy your delicious homemade cheese ramen while it's hot!
