melancholy grilled cheese

ingredients

---

• 2 slices of bread
• 1 or 2 packs of ramen
• cheese
• butter
• spring onion
• black bean sauce or hot sauce

method

---

spread a little butter on the bread and put it in the oven. then take the ramen brick(s) out, heat some water up and boil them. as if you havent done this billions of times before.

while the breads crunchying a bit, drain almost all the water out of the unbricked noodles, add the powder packet/sauce of choice and give it a solid mix. meanwhile add some cheese on the bread in the oven and let it melt a very little bit while you mix some more.

final part. this is where the rubber meets the glue, where the feet touch the sand and where the apples fall. take the bread slices out the oven, grab a fistful (no don't just use a fork or tongs) of ramen and drop it on a slice. add some chopped spring onion, cover up the sandwich, give it a solid squeeze and back in the oven for however long you like.

my favorite setup is fairly specific. i use 2 slices of cheese that bites back, then some extra shredded cheese, ideally mozzarella, and then black bean sauce in the ramen.

an alternate setup uses camembert and stir fried mushrooms alongside the black bean sauce. god i like black bean sauce so much

the late night cooking playlist demands it

its also like a hug when you have it late at night [ :) ]
