Ingredients
1 pack instant ramen noodles
1 tablespoon cream cheese
1/2 cup milk
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon chili oil
1 egg, soft-boiled (optional)
1 tablespoon chopped scallions (optional)
Instructions
1. Mince the garlic and gather all ingredients.
2. In a medium nonstick saucepan, sauté the garlic in a bit of oil over medium heat until fragrant.
3. Add milk and cream cheese. Stir until smooth and creamy.
4. Add ramen noodles and cook until tender, stirring occasionally.
5. Stir in soy sauce and chili oil. Adjust seasoning to taste.
6. Serve hot topped with a soft-boiled egg and scallions if using.
Notes
Use a nonstick pot to prevent sticking and scorching during simmering.
Keep the heat low when adding milk to avoid curdling.
Taste before adding extra soy sauce—cream cheese already adds salt.
