How To Make Block Ramen in A Microwave

Making block ramen in a microwave is a quick and easy process. Here’s how to do it:

Ingredients:

• 1 block of instant ramen
• Water (usually about 2 cups, but check the instructions on the package)
• Seasoning packet (comes with the ramen)

Instructions:

1. Place the ramen block in a microwave-safe bowl:
   Break the ramen block in half if it fits better in your bowl, but don’t crush it too much. The block should be fully submerged in the water.
2. Add water:
   Pour enough water into the bowl to cover the ramen. Typically, about 2 cups of water will work, but check the package for any specific guidance.
3. Microwave on high:
   Microwave the bowl on high for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the water is boiling and the ramen is softening. Keep an eye on it to ensure it doesn’t boil over.
4. Stir the ramen:
   After the ramen is cooked (the noodles should be soft), use a fork or chopsticks to stir and separate the noodles.
5. Add seasoning:
   Open the seasoning packet that came with the ramen and stir it into the noodles until fully dissolved. Adjust the seasoning if you’d like it saltier or spicier.
6. Optional add-ins:
   You can also add extras like cooked vegetables, a boiled egg, or cooked meat to enhance the flavor and make it more filling.
7. Serve and enjoy:
   Let the ramen sit for a minute to cool down, then enjoy your quick microwave ramen!

Tips:

• If you have a microwave with higher or lower wattage, you may need to adjust the cooking time slightly.
• Stirring the ramen halfway through the cooking time helps ensure even cooking and prevents the noodles from clumping together.
