Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 package (3 oz) instant ramen noodles (flavor packet removed)
  • 2 cups water
  • ⅓ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon butter
  • ¼ cup grated cheese
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper or to taste
  • Scallions/green onion (green part only, for garnishing, optional)

Instructions

  1. Boil Water: Heat 2 cups of water in a pan or pot and bring it to a rolling boil to prepare for cooking the noodles.
  2. Cook Noodles: Add the instant ramen noodles (without the flavor packet) to the boiling water and cook until they are al dente, meaning tender but still slightly firm to the bite, usually about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Drain and Add Flavor: Pour out the water carefully from the pot, then add ½ teaspoon of butter, ⅓ teaspoon of garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon of ground black pepper, and ¼ cup of grated cheese to the noodles. Allow the cheese to melt slightly over the warm noodles.
  4. Mix Until Creamy: Stir all ingredients together thoroughly until the butter and cheese are fully melted and the noodles are coated in a creamy mixture.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Optionally, sprinkle chopped scallions (green parts only) on top for a fresh, vibrant garnish and serve the cheesy ramen hot.

Notes

  • You can use any type of grated cheese you prefer, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend for different flavors.
  • Adjust the amount of black pepper to suit your taste.
  • For added texture, consider tossing in some cooked vegetables or proteins like chicken or tofu.
  • Make sure to remove the seasoning packet from the ramen before cooking to control the flavor and salt content.
  • Use low-fat butter or cheese to reduce calorie and fat content if desired.
