Creamy Spicy Noodles

Ingredients

• 1 pack Instant ramen noodles (any spicy variety like Buldak or Shin Ramyun)
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream (used to create the creamy base)
• 0.25 cup Water (reserved noodle cooking water or fresh water to thin the sauce)
• 1 Ramen seasoning packet (the spicy sauce/powder included with the noodles)
• 0.25 cup Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
• 1 stalk Green onions (sliced for garnish)

Steps

1. 1

   Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the instant ramen noodles according to the package instructions until they are al dente.

2. 2

   Drain the noodles, reserving about a 1/4 cup of the cooking water if you prefer a thinner sauce.

3. 3

   In a skillet or the same pot over medium-low heat, add the heavy cream and the spicy seasoning packet from the ramen.

4. 4

   Whisk the cream and seasoning together until well combined and the sauce begins to simmer slightly.

5. 5

   Add the cooked noodles to the sauce and toss thoroughly to coat every strand.

6. 6

   Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the noodles and stir until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is thick and stretchy.

7. 7

   Transfer the noodles to a bowl and garnish with sliced green onions before serving hot.

Notes

For extra protein, you can add a fried egg or sliced chicken. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of the reserved noodle water to reach your desired consistency.
