  • 1 tablespoon chili-infused oil
  • Pinch of red chili flakes

  • Toss the cooked ramen noodles with the cheesy mixture. Do that carefully to avoid breaking the noodles. Add some of the reserved cooking water if needed.
  • Stir in the chili-infused oil and red chili flakes, then adjust the seasoning to taste and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Make sure you don’t overcook the ramen noodles; you don’t want them to turn into mush.
  • Adjust the chili-infused oil and red chili flakes to your spiciness preference.
