# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes indulgent and fun without requiring fancy ingredients or real cooking skills.
  • The contrast between crispy ramen and gooey cheese feels like a secret that shouldn't work but absolutely does.
02 -
  • Drain your ramen aggressively—wet noodles won't crisp up, they'll just steam and fall apart.
  • Don't skip the second cooking step; that's where the magic happens and the cheese melts into every crevice while the outside gets even more golden and crispy.
03 -
  • Press your noodle patties firmly while cooking—loose, fragile patties will fall apart, and firm ones become crispy walls holding the cheese.
  • Use a ring mold or even a large spoon to shape perfectly even buns that cook at the same rate, which makes assembly and melting way more reliable.
