The Gooey French Cheese Influencers Are Adding to Instant Ramen Noodles

Brie Milk Ramen. Yep, you read that right!

In a video, Instagram user @dasol2_ places a whole wheel of brie on top of ramen noodles before adding hot water.

On TikTok, @thecrunchbros hack uses milk instead of water and cut pieces of brie. Both leave on the rind, which is edible. 

"Making instant ramen is spiritual, important, and methodical for Korean-American kids," Chef Roy Choi, father of the gourmet food truck trend and South Korea native, told Tasting Table.

Chef Choi proposed a twist on ramen by adding a slice or two of American cheese as a topping. 

Korean ramyun with cheese is a classic combination that results in a silky, creamy broth. Plus, dairy can help temper some of the dish's spice level. 

Thanks to TikTok and Instagram, the latest cheese and ramen hack has gone viral! The soup is further improved by adding a higher-caliber cheese, like brie or Camembert.
