Break the ramen noodles while still in the packet.

Open the can of tuna and drain.

Dice the pickles.

Crush the crackers into a chunky consistency.

Note: Crushing the crackers before adding them helps to create a thick, satisfying texture in the final spread.

In your microwave-safe bowl, combine the broken ramen, tuna, and enough water to just cover the noodles.

Microwave on high for about 5 minutes or until the noodles are soft.

Drain any excess water carefully.

Warning: Be careful when draining the hot water to avoid burns.

To the softened noodles and tuna, add the mayonnaise, diced pickles, and crushed crackers.

Carefully mix all the parts together until they are well mixed.

Season with hot sauce to taste.

Tip: Add hot sauce gradually, tasting as you go, to ensure it suits your spice tolerance.
