This is the one and only baked recipe concept in the book. I mostly avoid using the oven for instant ramen in favor of speedier stovetop cooking. However, there’s one thing that ovens can do that stovetops cannot: create a browned cheesy top. You can consider this a template for creating a gooey, cheesy instant ramen dish with an appetizing golden crust in the oven. While the overall cook time takes longer than 20 minutes, this only takes a few minutes to assemble; the rest of the time is passive.
