Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pack Instant ramen noodles
- 1 box Kraft Dinner Mac and Cheese
- 1.5 cups Whole milk
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 cups Water
- 2 stalks Scallions (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce (optional for flavor enhancement)
- 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for spice)
Instructions
Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a medium-sized pot and add the instant ramen noodles. Discard the flavor packet or set it aside for another use.
Cook the ramen noodles for 2-3 minutes until tender, then drain the noodles and set them aside.
In the same pot, bring 1.5 cups of milk and 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Add the powdered cheese packet from the Kraft Dinner box to the milk and butter mixture, stirring continuously until a smooth cheese sauce forms.
Add the cooked ramen noodles and the uncooked Kraft Dinner macaroni to the cheese sauce in the pot, stirring well to combine.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the mixture cook for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure the macaroni cooks evenly and absorbs the cheese sauce.
Optional: Stir in 1 tablespoon of soy sauce for a savory depth of flavor and sprinkle in 0.5 teaspoons of crushed red pepper flakes for a touch of spice.
Once fully cooked, portion the Ichi Kraft Ramen and Kraft Dinner mixture into bowls. Garnish with thinly sliced scallions if desired.
Serve hot and enjoy the creamy, flavorful fusion dish immediately.
