1 cup milk
½ teaspoon garlic powder optional
¼ teaspoon salt or to taste refer notes
ground black pepper to taste
2 x 3 ounces package instant ramen noodles, flavor packets discarded
½ teaspoon dried parsley or fresh optional
¼ cup grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

Add butter, chicken stock, milk, garlic powder (if using), salt and pepper in medium saucepan, stir and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Add ramen noodles and cook ( cook in high heat for al dente noodles and medium-high for softer noodles), stirring every 20-30 seconds to loosen the noodles (so that it cooks evenly).
Cook until some of the liquid remains, take off heat and immediately stir in parmesan and parsley (if using). The sauce will thicken as it cools.

Notes

Chicken stock – I used 33% reduced sodium chicken stock. If using regular sodium or no sodium chicken stock then adjust salt accordingly.

Salt – Butter (if using salted), chicken stock and parmesan cheese have salt. So, use salt accordingly. I found 1/ teaspoon salt to be perfect for this recipe with unsalted butter and 33% reduced sodium stock.

Discard seasoning packets

Ramen – For al dente ramen, make the entire process in high heat and in medium-high heat for a more softer ramen.

Liquid – You want some of the liquid remaining before taking off heat. This liquid helps for the parmesan to melt in it making luxurious garlic ramen.
