While the ramen cooks, heat a large frying pan over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan. Once hot, place a corn tortilla in the pan. Sprinkle about 1/4 cup of shredded cheese over one half of the tortilla. Fold the other half of the tortilla over the cheese to create a half-moon shape. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey.

Remove the cooked cheesy tortilla from the pan and set aside. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and cheese, adding more oil to the pan as needed, until all 8 tortillas are cooked into 4 cheesy quesadillas.

Finely chop the green onions. Once the ramen noodles are cooked, use chopsticks or tongs to transfer a portion of the noodles into each of four serving bowls. Ladle the hot broth over the noodles. Add the chili paste/powder packets (if desired, adjust to taste) and a generous sprinkle of chopped green onions to each bowl. Stir gently to combine.

Arrange two cheesy tortillas on each plate alongside a bowl of ramen. Generously squeeze mayonnaise and Sriracha sauce over the ramen as desired. Add sliced cucumbers and a dollop of green sauce to each plate as side accompaniments. Serve immediately.
