Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 packs packs of instant ramen noodles
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups water
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Preparation
- Start by bringing 2 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan.
- Once the water is bubbling, add the instant ramen noodles. Cook according to package instructions, usually about 3-4 minutes, until the noodles are tender.
- In a separate skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic to the pan and sauté until it’s fragrant—about 1 minute.
- Drain the ramen noodles and toss them directly into the skillet with the garlic butter. Stir well to ensure the noodles are thoroughly coated.
- Give the dish a good sprinkle of salt and pepper to taste. You can also add some chili flakes if you prefer a bit of heat.
- Plate your noodles, and if desired, garnish with chopped green onions for some added color and flavor.
Notes
Don’t overcook the noodles; aim for al dente. Experiment with add-ins for added nutrition such as vegetables or proteins. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
