Pro Tips
For extra creaminess, mix in a splash of milk or cream with the cheese.
Adjust the spice level by varying the amount of chili paste used.
Feel free to add more vegetables like spinach or bok choy for added nutrition.
Troubleshooting
If the broth is too spicy, add a bit of sugar or honey to balance the heat.
For a thicker broth, allow the ramen to simmer longer before serving.

Swap in shrimp for sausage for a fresh seafood twist.
Try adding an egg on top for protein and richness.
