Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pack instant ramen noodles (about 4 to 5 oz)
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp gochujang
  • 1 tbsp gochugaru
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded low-moisture mozzarella, divided
  • 2 scallions, sliced
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds

Method
 

  1. Melt butter in a medium oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds. Stir in gochujang and gochugaru, cooking 30 seconds more.
  2. Pour in chicken broth, soy sauce, sugar, and milk. Whisk together and simmer 2 minutes.
  3. Add ramen noodles (discard seasoning packet), press to submerge, and cook 4 to 5 minutes, flipping halfway. Stir in 3/4 cup mozzarella until melted.
  4. Preheat broiler to high. Sprinkle remaining mozzarella over noodles. Broil 2 to 3 minutes until bubbly and golden in spots.
  5. Remove from oven, top with scallions and sesame seeds, and serve hot from the pan.

Notes

The seasoning packet from the ramen isn’t needed; save it for fried rice or another dish. Broiler heat varies, so keep an eye on the cheese to avoid burning.
