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.
