Top ramen with half a slice of cheese

Ingredients

• 1 package Instant Ramen Noodles (85 g, discard the flavor packet if using chicken seasoning)

• 1 teaspoon Chicken Seasoning (Can be chicken bouillon powder or a pre‑made chicken seasoning blend)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt (Regular table salt)
• 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper (Freshly ground preferred)
• 0.5 slice Processed Cheese Slice (About 10 g, American or mild cheddar works well)
