Kimchi Ramen Grilled Cheese Sandwich makes 1 sandwich Ingredients ½ package of ramen, any “flavor” (we used a Korean brand, “extra spicy” vegetable flavor) ½ of the ramen seasoning packet (you wont need other things like a small oil packet or dehydrated vegetables) handful of kimchi, chopped and squeezed of excess kimchi “juice” 1 tablespoons oil for cooking (I used grapeseed) 2 tablespoon butter, softened 2 thick slices very sturdy bread handful of mozzarella or jack cheese handful American or Cheddar cheese Directions Bring a pot of water to a boil over high heat. Drop the ramen noodles in and cook until the ramen noodles are soft, about 8 minutes (this will depend, obviously). Drain the ramen noodles of the cooking liquid (use a colander), then put the noodles back into the pot or into a bowl. Pour the contents of half the seasoning packet over the noodles. Toss the noodles to combine. Set aside to prepare sandwich. Heat olive oil in a frying pan over low heat. Spread the outside of both slices of bread with softened butter. Place both slices of bread buttered-side down in the oil in the pan. Pile one slice with mozzarella/jack cheese; pile the other slice of bread with American/Cheddar cheese. Cook until bread is toasted and cheese has melted. Remove the grilled bread with cheese to a plate or cutting board. Pile as much ramen noodles on one slice of the bread as you’d like. Add chopped kimchi on top. Close the sandwich with the other slice of grilled bread and cheese. Press together firmly.
