5-Minute Spicy Garlic Ramen

Ingredients

• 2 packs Instant ramen noodles
• 2 tbsp Fresh garlic (Minced)
• 2 tbsp Soy sauce
• 2 tbsp Sriracha sauce or red chili flakes (Use either sriracha sauce or red chili flakes)
• 1 tsp Brown sugar
• 0.5 cup Ramen cooking water (Reserved after cooking the noodles)
• 0.25 cup American cheese (Grated)
• 1 Egg
• Butter (Amount not specified; for the pan)
• Salt and black pepper (To taste; ground black pepper is added to the sauce)
• 0.5 cube Chicken bouillon
• Green onion (Chopped, for garnishing)
• Sesame seeds (For garnishing, if adding)

Steps

1. 1

   Heat water in a pan or pot until boiling hot.

2. 2

   Add the instant ramen noodles and cook until al dente and tender.

3. 3

   Reserve 1/2 cup of the ramen cooking water, then pour out the remaining water.

4. 4

   Add butter to a pan. The source does not specify the amount of butter.

5. 5

   Add the minced garlic, soy sauce, chicken bouillon, egg, sriracha sauce or red chili flakes, ground black pepper, brown sugar, and grated American cheese to the pan.

6. 6

   Allow the cheese to melt slightly, then stir everything together until the mixture is creamy.

7. 7

   Add the boiled ramen noodles and stir them into the creamy sauce. Add the reserved ramen water as needed to incorporate the sauce; the source lists the water but does not explicitly state when to add it.

8. 8

   Serve the cheesy ramen hot, garnished with chopped green onion and sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

The amount of butter is not specified in the source. The source lists 1/2 cup ramen water but does not explicitly state where it is added; it is generally intended for loosening the sauce, but that use is noted as an inference.
