Just pour in a pack of milk instead of water, and instant noodles transform into a completely different dish. It's the moment when the deep flavor of bone broth turns as rich as a cream sauce.
Rich flavor from cheap ingredients
Sari Gomtang noodles are known for their broth made from simmered bones, already famous for a deep, rich taste. Swap water for milk, and the noodle's umami blends with the milk's creaminess to create a texture and flavor close to cream pasta. Melt in some cheese, and the sauce thickens further with an extra nutty richness, ending up close to what you'd get at a restaurant. The fact that it costs so little yet tastes so complete is exactly why this combo keeps getting talked about.
How to make it
Pour 200ml of milk into the noodles instead of water, add the powder soup base, bring to a boil, then top with a slice of cheese and let it melt.
Tip
If cooking in the microwave, the milk may boil over, so check on it every minute.
