This TikTok ramen is a quick, creamy, and flavorful twist on traditional instant ramen, complete with a spicy Buffalo kick and cheesy goodness! Adding pre-cooked grilled chicken strips and a boiled egg elevates this dish, making it hearty, budget-friendly, and delicious.
Ingredients
- 2 packs chicken-flavored ramen noodles
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2–3 tbsp Buffalo sauce (adjust to taste)
- 1 ramen seasoning packet (from one of the ramen packs)
- 2 slices cheese of choice (American cheese melts smoothly, but feel free to try cheddar or mozzarella)
- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup pre-cooked grilled chicken strips (Kroger brand or any brand you like, thawed if frozen)
- 1 boiled egg (optional, but highly recommended)
Instructions
- Cook the Ramen Noodles:
- In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil, then add both packs of ramen noodles.
- Cook according to the package instructions (usually about 3 minutes).
- Drain the noodles and set them aside.
- Make the Creamy Buffalo Sauce:
- In the same pot, melt 2 tbsp butter over medium heat.
- Add 2–3 tbsp Buffalo sauce (or adjust to your spice preference) and 1 ramen seasoning packet.
- Stir in 2 slices of cheese and 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream.
- Stir continuously until the cheese is fully melted, and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Add Chicken:
- Add the pre-cooked grilled chicken strips to the pot and stir until they’re heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
- Combine with Noodles:
- Add the cooked ramen noodles back into the pot, tossing them gently to coat evenly with the sauce.
- Serve with Boiled Egg:
- Transfer to a bowl and top with a halved boiled egg, if desired, for added richness.
- Optional Garnishes:
- Sprinkle with chopped green onions or sesame seeds for extra flavor.
Enjoy your creamy, spicy, and cheesy TikTok-inspired ramen!
