Easy Top Ramen Recipes: 2 Ways to Spice Up Your Ramen Game
How many times has someone told you that in college you're going to have to live off of Top Ramen? Imagine that: day in and day out where all you eat is noodles in salty broth with no variation except for your chosen flavor. That is not the kind of world I want to live it. That is why I tested and perfected two easy Top Ramen recipes that you can use to speed up the process and/or expand your flavor options.
(Cheesy) Top Ramen in the Microwave
- Prep Time: 2 mins

- Total Time: 5 mins
- Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 1 pack Top Ramen
- 1/2 pack ramen seasoning
- Water
- 2 slices cheese optional

Below is the cheesy ramen. The broth is thicker than the ramen with only the water. Also, if you use cheese, you do not need to use as much seasoning because the cheese will add saltiness.
This recipe is perfect for when you don't feel like taking out a pot and waiting for water to boil. It also tastes great with some hot sauce, a fried egg, or pieces of ham or other meat. Adding all three is #ramengoals.
Creamy Garlic Ramen
- Prep Time: 5 mins
- Cook Time: 3 mins
- Total Time: 8 mins
- Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 1 pack Top Ramen
- 1/2 pack ramen seasoning
- 1 1/4 cup milk
- 1 large clove garlic or 2 small cloves
- 1 pinch nutmeg
- 1/4 cup grated parmesean
- hot sauce optional

The creamy garlic ramen is far less brothy than normal ramen or the microwave ramen. The sauce is more similar to creamy sauces like alfredo sauce or the sauce in macaroni and cheese.
If you want to thicken the sauce, you can add more cheese. You can also let it sit for a bit and it will thicken up pretty well on its own. However, it is easy to let it sit for too long and it get a bit thick and sticky. This can be fixed with a little milk or water.
Now It's Your Turn
Ramen is fast and easy to make. With a microwave, it is even faster to make. With some milk, garlic, and cheese, it is taken to a whole different flavor dimension. Gone are the days of waiting for water to boil and eating the same ramen noodles every night. With these easy Top Ramen recipes, your life just got a lot more exciting. Go out and share your new ramen-making skills with the world.
