Instructions

1
Add the ramen noodle blocks to a pot of boiling water and cook according to package directions.
2
While the noodles are cooking, heat a separate pan over medium-high heat. Add the drained corn.
3
Once the corn begins to heat up, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top.
4
Cook for about 30 seconds, just until the cheese is melted. Remove from heat and set aside.
5
Drain most of the water from the cooked noodles, leaving a small amount in the pot. Add the included Buldak sauce and powder packets.
6
Add an optional drizzle of Japanese mayonnaise and stir everything together until the noodles are evenly coated.
7
Transfer the seasoned ramen to a large bowl and top with the cheesy corn mixture.
8
Garnish with optional black sesame seeds and chopped fresh cilantro. Mix and enjoy immediately.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Drain the corn thoroughly to prevent excess moisture from diluting the cheese sauce.
Shred mozzarella fresh rather than using pre-shredded; fresh shreds melt more evenly.
Add the cheese immediately after draining the noodles while they're still hot to achieve a smooth, creamy melt.
Toast the black sesame seeds in a dry pan for 30 seconds before sprinkling to enhance their nutty flavor.

Substitutions

Buldak Carbonara ramen → Buldak Hot Chicken ramen (adds more heat; reduce if sensitive)
Kewpie mayonnaise → regular mayonnaise (slightly less umami depth)
Fresh cilantro → green onion or parsley (different flavor profile)

Storage & make-ahead

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 day; reheat gently in a skillet with a splash of water to restore creaminess.

Common Questions

Can I use a different type of cheese instead of mozzarella?

Yes. Cheddar, Gouda, or a blend of mozzarella and Parmesan work well. Avoid hard cheeses that don't melt smoothly.

How do I prevent the cheese from becoming rubbery?

Add cheese to the hot noodles off heat or over very low heat, and stir gently until just melted. Don't overcook.

Can I make this dish less spicy?

Use one package of Buldak ramen and add regular instant ramen, or reduce the seasoning packet slightly.

Is this recipe vegetarian?

Yes, if you use vegetable-based ramen broth. Check your Buldak ramen package for meat derivatives.

Can I prepare the ingredients ahead of time?

Cook and drain the noodles up to 2 hours ahead; store in an airtight container in the fridge. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave before topping with cheese and corn.
