    Step 1
  2. Sauté the aromatics

    • Melt the butter in a pan over medium-low heat.
    • Add the minced garlic and green onion and sauté just until fragrant, being careful not to brown the garlic.
    Step 2
  3. Build the sauce

    • Stir in the chicken bouillon, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, chili oil, garlic powder and black pepper.
    • Pour in the heavy cream and part of the reserved ramen water.
    • Stir and let it gently simmer without boiling aggressively.
    Step 3
  4. Melt in the cheese

    • Lower the heat and gradually stir in the shredded cheese until completely melted and smooth.
    • Add more ramen water, a little at a time, until the sauce is silky and coats the back of a spoon.
    Step 4
  5. Toss the noodles

    • Add the cooked ramen and toss until every noodle is coated in the creamy sauce.
    • Stir in the sesame oil.
    Step 5
