Ranch Is The Tangy Addition You Need For Velvety Instant Ramen
By Greta Pano
If you want to spice up instant ramen, ditch the flavor packet that comes with your instant ramen noodles and add in some ranch seasoning instead.
The tangy flavor won't disappoint, and the ranch seasoning will thicken your ramen broth, turning it into a velvety, creamy soup for your noodles.
Amp up the flavor by cooking the noodles in chicken broth instead of water. Once you stir in the ranch seasoning, add a bit of butter for extra creamy and velvety deliciousness.
If you don't have the seasoning, you can follow one Redditor who tried adding ranch dressing and cheese to a bowl of ramen. However, it will impact the flavor and texture.
Ranch dressing doesn't mix well with broth, so it's better for noodles without soup. Using a seasoning packet will keep the broth soupy — not a chunky, globby mess.
