How To Make Cheesy Ramen Noodles
To make these ramen noodles with cheese, begin by preparing soft-boiled eggs—cook eggs just long enough so the whites are set and the yolks remain slightly runny. Cool them in an ice bath, peel, and set aside. Meanwhile, cook your ramen noodles and reserve a bit of the cooking water before draining. In a skillet, melt some butter and sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Add milk and bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir in a small mixture of cornstarch to thicken the sauce, then add shredded cheddar—along with any other types of cheese you like— and a dash of sriracha, stirring until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy. Toss in the noodles, mixing well to coat, and add a splash of the reserved cooking water if needed to loosen the sauce. Divide the noodles between bowls and top with the halved eggs, sliced green onions, toasted sesame seeds, strips of nori, and a sprinkle of extra cheese. It’s a comforting, flavor-packed dish with just the right balance of creamy, savory, and satisfying.
