Consumers have recently been loving the pairing of ramen noodles with unlikely suitors like pizza, lasagna, burgers and burritos, but now they can enjoy them in a dessert like Ramen Pudding.
Japanese blog Rocket News posted a DIY tutorial on how to create the savory snack. Dunking ramen in pudding has been almost a delicacy in Japan for quite some time, but now the bloggers are mixing the two together into one single recipe.
Essentially, all you need to do is cook your ramen noodles as you normally would and melt a specific type of pudding into them called purin. The pudding reportedly melts perfectly into the noodles and offers a pleasant, creamy flavor and experience. It's the perfect blend of spicy and sweet for your palate.
