Ingredients

Ramen Ingredients

  • 1 package instant ramen (preferably Nong Shim, Samyang, or any Korean brand – without the seasoning pack)
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
  • 2 teaspoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon Everything Bagel Seasoning, or to taste
  • 1 scallion, sliced (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook the noodles: Prepare the instant ramen noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain most of the water, leaving about 1-2 tablespoons of liquid with the noodles to keep them moist and prevent them from drying out.
  2. Prepare the sauce: In a pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, stirring until the garlic softens, approximately 1 minute. Then stir in the brown sugar and soy sauce until the sugar fully dissolves, creating a flavorful sauce.
  3. Toss the noodles: Add the cooked noodles to the pan and toss them thoroughly in the sauce to coat evenly. Push the noodles to one side of the pan to make space for the egg.
  4. Cook the egg: Pour the lightly beaten egg into the cleared space in the pan. Scramble the egg gently until it’s cooked to your desired doneness, then mix the egg into the noodles to combine all the flavors.
  5. Serve: Transfer the ramen to a bowl, sprinkle with Everything Bagel seasoning and sliced scallions if using, and enjoy your quick, tasty TikTok Ramen!

Notes

  • Using Korean instant noodles like Nong Shim or Samyang provides authentic texture and flavor.
  • Adjust the red pepper flakes according to your spice preference.
  • Leaving a little water with the noodles helps the sauce bind better and keeps the noodles from being dry.
  • Everything Bagel seasoning adds a savory, crunchy finish but can be omitted or substituted with sesame seeds or seaweed flakes.
  • For extra protein, you can add additional eggs or cooked meats such as chicken or pork.
