Ramac and Cheese
This "ramen hack" uses fresh ingredients to dress up packaged ramen noodles and take them in a non-Asian direction. This one comes out much like macaroni and cheese - although the ramen themselves are softer than traditional elbow macaroni, making this texturally odd.

DIRECTIONS
- Remove and reserve 2 tbsp (1 oz) grated cheese.
- Toss remaining cheese and cornstarch until well coated. Transfer to a saucepan. Add most of the evaporated milk (reserve about 1 tablespoon) and the hot sauce. Cook over low heat, whisking constantly, until melted, bubbly and thickened, about 5 minutes. (Sauce will look thin and grainy at first, but will smooth out and thicken as it cooks.) Thin to desired consistency with reserved evaporated milk.
- Prepare ramen according to package directions, discarding seasoning packet. When noodles are tender, drain and toss with cheese sauce. Transfer to an oven-safe dish, top with reserved grated cheese and broil until cheese is melted and bubbly.
