Instructions

Add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and minced garlic into a medium-sized skillet or pan.
Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the garlic turns a light golden color, being careful not to let it brown.
Add the chicken stock, salt, and pepper, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add the ramen noodles and cook, stirring every 20-30 seconds to loosen the noodles.
Cook until most of the liquid has evaporated and only a small amount of sauce remains.
Remove the pan from heat, then stir in the remaining tablespoon of butter and chopped parsley.
Serve immediately and enjoy the savory goodness of garlic butter ramen noodles.

Notes

Don’t overcook the garlic to prevent bitterness.
If using regular or no sodium chicken stock, adjust the salt accordingly.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in a pan with a bit of extra butter or stock.
For a vegan version, substitute plant-based butter and vegetable stock.
For a spicier kick, add red pepper flakes or hot sauce to the garlic butter sauce.
