## Ingredients (1 servings)
- 1 pack Buldak Carbonara Ramen
- 600 ml water
- 60 ml milk (approximately 1/4 cup)
- 30 g shredded cheese (approximately 1/4 cup)

## Instructions
1. Open the 1 pack of Buldak Carbonara Ramen.
2. Pour 600ml of water into a pot and bring it to a boil.
3. Once the water is boiling, add the ramen noodles from the 1 pack into the pot.
4. Boil the noodles for approximately 4 minutes.
5. Carefully drain most of the water from the pot, leaving a small amount (about 100ml) with the noodles.
6. Add the Buldak Carbonara powder sauce and the liquid sauce from the 1 pack to the noodles in the pot.
7. Stir the noodles thoroughly with chopsticks until the sauces are well combined and the noodles are evenly coated.
8. Pour 60ml of milk into the pot with the noodles.
9. Stir the noodles again to incorporate the milk, which helps to reduce the spiciness.
10. Add 30g of shredded cheese to the noodles in the pot.
11. Stir until the cheese is completely melted and mixed into the creamy sauce.
12. Garnish with the dried parsley flakes (usually included in the ramen packet) if desired, and serve immediately.
