Many consumers only know the experience of eating ramen to involve boiled water, packets of dehydrated noodles and pre-made packets of seasoning, but many creative chefs are challenging this notion with inventive dishes like this one with cheesy noodles.
In the same way that Italian-style spaghetti is often prepared and topped with shreds of cheese, this Stock and Parmesan Ramen recipe calls for a packet of ramen, chicken stock, chopped green onion and grated Parmesan cheese.
As the recipe describes, "simmering the ramen in stock fortifies the noodles" and creates noodles of a deep, rich dark brown color. As a whole, the inventive cheesy noodle dish offers a fresh take on traditional pasta dishes that are often topped with red sauce and call for a base of long, stringy noodles.
