Grilled Ramen Noodles and Cheese Recipe

Today, I am happy to share with you an unusual but tasty dish for Grilled Ramen Noodles and Cheese.  This recipe is from Jonathon Sawyer’s new cookbook- NOODLE KIDS (I was given permission by Quarto to reprint the recipe here). When this chef is not in the kitchen of one of his four restaurants in Cleveland, he enjoys teaching his kids the fundamentals of cooking and the joy of preparing a delicious meal. NOODLE KIDS provides parents and children the opportunity to learn to make noodles from around the world including Japanese ramen, Italian spaghetti, Southeast Asian stir-fries, and classic American mac and cheese. The pasta recipes are simple and will take you on a culinary journey around the world. I think you will enjoy this ramen noodle grilled cheese recipe as an introduction to the creativity of the cookbook.

Ramen Noodle Grilled Cheese: Your New Favorite Comfort Food!

This is a really fun way to reinterpret ramen noodles. I like to think about these cuties almost like potato latkes, gently assembled and easy to pick up. At Noodlecat, we serve this with creamy tomato soup mixed with miso, but I also love it with onion dip or hummus.

NOODLE KIDS- grilled ramen and cheese

How to Make Ramen Grilled Cheese

1. Fill the pot with water and season with salt until it tastes like seawater. Bring to a boil over high heat. Cook the ramen noodles for 8 minutes. Strain them but do not rinse them; you want that extra starch.

2. In the large bowl, combine the hot ramen noodles, butter, scallions, garlic, paprika, and salt and pepper. Allow the ramen to cool slightly, and then fold in the cheeses. You want to stir gently, but it’s okay if the noodles tear a little.

3. Line a baking pan with lightly greased parchment paper. Transfer the ramen mixture to the pan and spread evenly to form a ramen cake. The cake should be 1½ to 2½-inches (3.8 to 6.4 cm) thick. Top the mixture with another piece of lightly greased parchment paper. Place the soup cans on top of the parchment paper to compress the cake. WAIT! Refrigerate the ramen cake for at least 2 hours and up to 24 hours.

4. Once the ramen cake has cooled, turn it out onto a cutting board, still layered with the parchment. Cut the cake, still in the parchment paper, into 3-inch (7.5 cm) squares.

5. Remove the parchment paper and press each ramen cake in a panini press at medium heat until golden brown, about 10 minutes.

You can use a hot greased skillet for the same grilling effect but the panini press makes it easier and you won’t have to do any flipping. Either way, remove from heat and allow to cool for a couple of minutes. Then serve your hot and toasty ramen noodle grilled cheese and enjoy!
