Description
A spicy, creamy baked ramen casserole made with buldak noodles, shredded chicken, and layers of melted mozzarella and cheddar cheese for a bold and comforting Korean-inspired meal.
Ingredients
- 2 packs buldak ramen noodles
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a baking dish.
- Cook the buldak ramen noodles according to the package instructions, but keep them slightly undercooked so they can finish cooking in the oven.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked noodles with the buldak sauce packets, shredded chicken, heavy cream, milk, butter, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir until everything is well mixed and creamy.
- Transfer the noodle mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
- Sprinkle the mozzarella and cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
- Bake for 15–20 minutes, until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven, top with chopped green onions, and serve warm.
Notes
- For a milder casserole, use less buldak sauce or add extra cream and cheese.
- You can swap the chicken for cooked beef or shrimp.
- Vegetables such as corn, mushrooms, or spinach can be added for more texture and flavor.
- For a richer casserole, mix in a little cream cheese before baking.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Add a splash of milk before reheating to keep the noodles creamy and prevent them from drying out.
