Ramen lovers are in for a treat as Samyang, one of Korea’s leading ramen manufacturers, has introduced a cheesy ramen noodle variant. This innovative product features four different types of cheeses, all reduced to a powdered form within a sachet. To prepare, simply mix the cheese powder with boiling water in your cup, resulting in a thick, creamy, and deeply orange-hued ramen.
The key to enjoying this dish is to break the noodles into smaller pieces, making a later step in the preparation process easier. After cooking the noodles and draining them, mix in half of the seasoning packet with soy sauce and a few drops of sesame seed oil. You can then add the cheese sauce or grated cheese of your choice, such as cheddar or mozzarella. The cheese combination in this ramen includes cheddar, camembert, and gouda, adding a unique smoky element to the dish.
Korean Style Instant Noodles are now available in a vegetarian option, flavored with cheese, and easily accessible in India. To complement your cheesy ramen, consider a Japanese potato salad with carrots, cucumbers, and onions. For an extra touch, crack an egg in a separate bowl, mix in Kewpie mayo, grated or minced garlic, and ramen seasoning. This combination not only enriches the flavor but also adds a delightful texture to the ramen.
Another great way to enjoy this cheesy ramen is by introducing a bit of Italian flair, transforming it into a creamy carbonara dish. Simply put the vegetable mix into 550ml (about 2 3/4 cups) of water, bring it to a boil, add noodles and powder soup, and let it boil for 4 more minutes. The word ‘Soon,’ meaning mild in Korean, is apt for this type of ramen, offering a less spicy but equally flavorful experience.
The beauty of instant ramen noodles and cheese lies in their availability, making it one of the easiest and tastiest ways to enhance your ramen at home. Whether you’re a fan of traditional ramen or looking for a creative twist on your favorite fast meal, cheesy ramen offers a delightful culinary experience.
