Chilli Cheese Ramen Noodles
PREP TIME
5 minutes
COOK TIME
10 minutes
SERVES
2
Ingredients
2 tbsp unsalted butter
2 tsp plain (all-purpose) flour
2 packets ramen noodles
½ cup whole milk
2 tsp gochujang*
30g (1 oz) finely grated parmesan cheese
⅓ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 spring onions (scallions), finely sliced, to serve
½ gochugaru*, to serve
Steps
-
Bring a saucepan filled with water to the boil.
-
Meanwhile, place a shallow frying pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the butter. Once it’s almost melted, add in the plain flour. Whisk to combine to create a roux, then add in the flavour sachet from the ramen noodles and the milk. Keep whisking on until a loose, thin sauce is formed.
-
Next, add in the gochujang, parmesan cheese and mozzarella. Stir until well combined and the sauce is looking thick and cheesy.
-
Cook ramen noodles in your boiling water according to packet instructions. Use tongs to transfer them straight into the chilli cheese sauce. Add the remaining mozzarella cheese and mix through.
-
Transfer to a serving bowl. Sprinkle over spring onion and gochugaru.
-
Notes:
– Gochujang is a Korean fermented chili paste. It can be found in the Asian aisle at most supermarkets or from Asian grocers.
– Gochugaru are Korean red pepper chilli flakes. Find them online or from an Asian grocery store.
This elevated cheesy ramen is so, so yummy!
I used the same brand of noodles as the video (Jin Ramen: Gout Doux). I loved the flavor combination of parmesan and mozzarella – melted cheese perfection. With the Korean pepper flakes, everyone can get the heat level they prefer. Nom nom nom
Fantastic!
I just discovered you on YouTube and have been binge watching you for days. As a professional chef myself, I rarely watch cooking shows but you are great! Very clean and orderly. If I had anything to suggest, it would be to always wear your hair up or pulled back when cooking but, otherwise, I love everything you do!
A+ 5 *****
I love watching your videos. Pure entertainment and makes Asian cooking easy.
