Back then, American soldiers brought non-perishable rations when they came to Korea during the war and this includes cheese. When the American soldiers left, the dairy product stayed and became an important part of Korean cuisine. Today, South Korea has grown to become one of the top 10 importers of US dairy.
Over time, this cheesy ingredient gradually seeped into Korean culinary history with new menu items emerging from its acceptance. Eventually, adding cheese became an indulgent way to enjoy a bowl of instant noodles, giving birth to the Korean spicy cheese ramen recipe!
Ingredients:
- Instant ramen / Instant Noodles*
- Cheddar cheese
- Milk
- Water
- Green onion
Preparation:
=> In a saucepan, boil 2 cups of water. Add ramen noodles and cook for 2 minutes.
=> Pour out water, Add milk to the sauce pan, and seasoning pack that came with the ramen noodles. Stir until the seasoning is dissolved
=> When the milk starts to thickens and bubble, add your green onions and turn off the heat. Finish it off by topping with your cheese.!
* Instant ramen / noodles will obviously be the base of this recipe. We love using samyang noodle soup, and chose the spicy version as we love a little kick! If you like your spice, we recommend using Shin Rayum.
