Ingredients

• 2 packs (3 oz each) instant ramen noodles
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 egg
• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
• 1/2 cup bread crumbs
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
• 1/4 cup fresh herbs (such as cilantro or parsley), chopped
• 1 seasoning packet from the ramen noodles

How to Make Savory Ramen Cake

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a round cake pan or springform pan with vegetable oil.
2. Cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions, omitting the seasoning packet. Drain and set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked ramen noodles, egg, shredded cheese, seasoning packet, green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly coated.
4. Transfer the noodle mixture to the prepared cake pan, pressing it down firmly to create an even layer.
5. In a separate bowl, mix the bread crumbs with a drizzle of vegetable oil and the chopped fresh herbs. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the ramen cake.
6. Bake the ramen cake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the top is crispy.
7. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure the noodles are pressed down firmly in the pan for a cohesive cake.
• Experiment with different cheeses for varied flavors.
• Allow the cake to cool slightly for easier slicing.
• Serve warm for the best texture and flavor.

Easy Variations

• Add cooked vegetables such as bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach to the noodle mixture for added nutrition.
• Incorporate cooked protein like shredded chicken or tofu for a heartier dish.
• Spice it up with chili flakes or sriracha mixed into the noodle base.

What to Serve With It

• A fresh green salad with a tangy vinaigrette
• Steamed broccoli or asparagus for a nutritious side
• Soy sauce or a light dipping sauce for extra flavor
• Pickled vegetables for a crunchy contrast
