Garlicky Creamy Ramen

Don’t you just love the wonderful variations you can do with a package of ramen noodles? Whenever I wanna spice things up a bit, this is one of my favourite ways to level up my ramen.

Ramen is often considered as “the quickest home cooked lazy meal”, which is why I’m not surprised why so many people keep a pantry full of ramen in their homes (I am one of those people too haha). I get it, you want something comforting when you’re in the need of a quick meal, or you’re craving for a midnight snack. However, did you know your pack of instant ramen can also turn into a fancy dish? Yes, it’ll take a bit more time compared to your regular ramen (to be honest, it’ll only take 10 minutes), but trust me, that extra bit of time is totally worth it because the end result will leave you craving for more.

Ingredients

• 1 package of instant ramen noodles
• Toppings packet (included in ramen noodles package)
• 4 garlic cloves (sliced very thinly)
• 1/4 of a small onion (minced)
• 4-5 button mushrooms (sliced)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Splash of white wine
• 1/4 cup milk
• 2 slices of american cheddar cheese
• 1 tbsp chopped green onion
• 1/2 tsp dried thyme

Instructions

1. Boil ramen noodles according to package instructions.
2. While the noodles are cooking, add the olive oil to a pan over medium heat. Add in the onion and garlic and cook until fragrant. Then add in the mushrooms and season with thyme, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes. Cook for about a minute.

4. Drain the noodles and add to the pan, followed by the toppings packet (included with the ramen package) and toss everything to combine.

5. Turn off the heat and toss the noodles with the cheese until creamy. Serve and enjoy!
