Hail David Chang Momofuku’s supreme leader for creating this super simple and delicious recipe. I’m still on my Whole30 program and didn’t get to taste this yet (I will though!) but hubby slurped it down as soon as I plated the noodles. Ramen boy missed out he was too slow to get to the kitchen. The recipe comes from the Lucky Peach #1: The Ramen Issue magazine. It is filled with great recipes and stories but if you can’t find it on the newsstands you can find Lucky Peach online as well.
I cut the recipe in half since I only had one package of instant ramen noodles. Easy peasy to just combine the one cup of water, 1.5 T butter, 1/2 t olive oil and fresh black pepper in a saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Give it a quick stir and reduce the heat so that it comes to a simmer. Stir in one cup of grated pecorino romano and quickly add the noodles and continue to stir so that the cheese doesn’t get clumpy. Continue agitating and mixing around until most of the liquid is absorbed. Should take about 3 1/2 to 4 minutes. Plate the noodles, add some more pepper and go to town.
You will definitely be purring as you slurp down these noodles.
