Creamy Mushroom
Bacon Ramen

By swapping traditional pasta for ramen, you get a unique, chewy texture that holds onto the creamy mushroom and bacon sauce beautifully. It is an irresistible, simple meal that feels far more sophisticated than your average bowl of noodles.
Ingredients
- 1 serving ramen noodles
- 2 strips bacon
- 50 g mushrooms
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tbsp butter
- 80 g milk
- 80 g heavy cream
- to taste dried mixed herbs
Instructions
- 1Sauté the garlic
Place a knob of butter into a pan over medium heat. Once melted, add the sliced garlic and sauté until fragrant and lightly golden.
Tip: Keep the heat medium to ensure the garlic infuses the butter without burning. - 2Cook bacon and mushrooms
Add the sliced bacon and mushrooms to the pan. Stir-fry them together until the bacon is browned and the mushrooms have softened and released their moisture.
Tip: Rendering the fat from the bacon fully adds a deep, savory flavor to the dish. - 3Add the milk
Pour 80 grams of milk into the pan with the bacon and mushrooms, allowing it to combine with the rendered fats and aromatics.
Tip: Pour the liquid slowly while stirring to create a smooth, emulsified base for the sauce. - 4Add heavy cream
Pour 80 grams of heavy cream into the pan to enrich the sauce. Stir everything together and allow it to simmer gently.
Tip: Heavy cream adds a luxurious, velvety texture that balances the savory bacon. - 5Add ramen noodles
Add the pre-cooked ramen noodles into the pan. Use chopsticks to gently toss and coat the noodles thoroughly with the creamy sauce.
Tip: Ensure the noodles are fully coated in the sauce before serving to maximize flavor in every bite.
