Upgraded Ramen

There’s nothing like a bowl of ramen after a long day, but this version takes it up a notch. Creamy, spicy, and full of cheese, this Spicy Cheesy Ramen is the ultimate comfort meal that comes together in minutes. Whether you’re pulling an all-nighter or craving something indulgent, this quick recipe will hit the spot every time.

How To Make Spicy Cheesy Ramen

Start by boiling your ramen until just cooked; you want it to be soft but still bouncy. In a separate pan, melt some butter and sauté minced garlic until it’s golden and aromatic. Add chili flakes, gochujang (or your favorite hot sauce), and the ramen seasoning packet. Stir in a little milk to create a creamy base, then add your choice of cheese and let it melt into a smooth, cheesy sauce. Toss in the noodles and mix until every strand is perfectly coated in the rich, cheesy goodness.

This ramen is easy to make, but still indulgent, perfect for nights when you want something quick and comforting. Feel free to play around with the flavors: add vegetables for freshness, an egg for extra creaminess, or even top it with green onions or sesame seeds for some extra depth.
