In a viral video, they shared easy ramen recipes using the packaged noodles and people are loving how it turns out. Take a look:

Here, we have explained the three easy ways they used to elevate the classic ramen:
Technique 1
Boil the noodles till it is 90% cooked. Drain the water and boil the semi-cooked noodles in 350 ml of whole milk. Now add the flavouring packet. Once the seasoning is combined, serve the noodles hot!
Technique 2
Also known as the Kujirai Style Ramen, for this preparation, you'll be using a pan not a pot. Boil the noodles and add the flavouring packet. Crack an egg at the centre of the noodles, place two halves of cheese slice and cover the pan, and let it cook till the egg is done. Serve the noodle from the pan itself!
Technique 3
This is the simplest of the techniques; all you need to do is add ketchup to the boiling noodles and then add the flavouring packet! Once the noodle is cooked, enjoy it hot!
