Step 2: Apply Heat
Unless you enjoy your noodles dry, this is a crucial step. The secret is to keep the steam and the hot water as near to the noodle brick as you can. You’ve probably already covered your cooking vessel with a lid of some kind if you’re cooking in a microwave to keep the steam in. Set the microwave cooking time for 3-5 minutes. After a few tries, you’ll figure out the ideal amount of time, so you might want to err on the side of caution the first time.
When using an electric kettle, bring the water to a boil before adding it to the container. To trap the heat inside the bowl or container, quickly (and without burning yourself) place a plate, lid, or layer of saran wrap over the top. The hot water will cook the noodles, and the lid will maintain the necessary heat.
It is highly advised that you avoid placing the noodles inside the kettle. Noodles cooked directly in the pot run the risk of boiling over, which can be hazardous and untidy. Besides, these kitchen tools were designed to boil water only, so you could end up with pasta residue in your kettle. Purchasing new small electronics every few months is not very frugal, even though they are usually fairly inexpensive.
2. When you don’t want to use a pot and stove, do it this way
So you don’t need to wash or clean the pot.
You just need to wash your bowl and chopsticks.
Or it will be useful when…
Step 1: Arrange Your Ingredients
First, choose a container to cook the noodles in. It ought to be large enough to hold the volume of water you wish to add without running the risk of overflowing. Use whatever bowl or container you intend to use for eating to avoid the hassle of excessive cleanup. This is one of the main benefits of cooking the ramen without using the conventional stovetop method. Only one dish!.
Once the vessel has been chosen, add the noodles and the contents of the flavor packet. Go to the next step if you’re using an electric kettle. Pour in the desired amount of water if you plan to use a microwave. If you like your ramen soupier, add more; if you want it stronger and with less broth, add less. Use the vessel’s lid, a plate, or saran wrap to cover it. Just be careful to leave a small opening for steam to escape through to prevent an explosion and mess.
