Description
A bold and comforting dish combining spicy Korean ramen with gooey melted cheese, creating a creamy and fiery flavor combination that warms you up and satisfies your cravings.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 pack Korean instant ramen
- 1 slice mozzarella or cheddar cheese
- 1 cup water
- 1 egg (optional)
- 1 green onion, chopped
Instructions
- Boil Water: Bring 1 cup of water to a rolling boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat.
- Add Ramen: Add the ramen noodles to the boiling water and cook according to package instructions until tender, usually around 3-4 minutes.
- Season the Soup: Stir in the seasoning packet included with the ramen and mix thoroughly to ensure the broth is flavorful and spicy.
- Cook the Egg (Optional): Crack the egg directly into the boiling soup. Let it poach and cook to your desired doneness, about 2 minutes for a soft yolk or longer for a firm yolk.
- Add Cheese: Place a slice of mozzarella or cheddar cheese on top of the hot ramen. Cover the pot briefly to allow the cheese to melt completely and form a creamy layer.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped green onions over the ramen for a fresh, savory touch. Serve hot immediately to enjoy the perfect blend of spicy broth and melted cheese.
Notes
- Adjust the seasoning packet quantity for a milder spice level if preferred.
- Add a splash of milk or cream to the broth before adding cheese for an extra creamy texture.
- You can substitute the egg with tofu for a vegan alternative, but note this would change the diet classification.
- Use either mozzarella or cheddar cheese depending on your preference for meltability and flavor.
