Boil 4 cups of water in a medium-sized pot over medium-high heat.
Once the water is boiling, add the 2 packs of instant noodles and cook as per packet instructions, approximately 2-3 minutes, until they are tender.
While the noodles cook, chop the ham slices into small squares or strips.
Drain the cooked noodles, leaving about 1/4 cup of the cooking water in the pot to keep them moist.
Lower the heat to medium and add 1 tablespoon of butter to the pot. Stir until melted.
Add the chopped ham to the noodles and mix well to evenly distribute.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the noodles and stir until the cheese is melted and everything is combined.
Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste.
Divide the noodles equally into two bowls and serve immediately while hot.
