Step 4: Cook
Cook on manual for …. 1 minute 😮
Yes just 1 minute, and stick around because you will want to manual release that pressure right away.
Step 5: Stir and Serve
Stir up the noodles. Some are bound to be a little dry but I find that mixing it in with the rest will finish them off just fine. I like to add green onion and siracha on top.
If you want to make this a complete meal try adding a soft boiled or fried egg on top. (talk about making it rich!!) Or add in some sliced chicken or pork. Basically anything you’d find at a ramen house can work with this recipe. 😉
