Ingredients

Ramen and Toppings

  • 1 package instant ramen (preferably Nong Shim, Samyang, or any Korean brand – without the seasoning pack)
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon Everything Bagel Seasoning, or to taste
  • 1 scallion, sliced (optional garnish)

Sauce and Seasoning

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
  • 2 teaspoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce

Instructions

  1. Cook Noodles: Prepare the instant ramen noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain most of the water, leaving about 1-2 tablespoons in the pan with the noodles to keep them from drying out.
  2. Make Sauce Base: In a pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes, stirring frequently until the garlic softens and becomes fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the brown sugar and soy sauce until the sugar dissolves completely.
  3. Toss Noodles in Sauce: Add the cooked noodles to the pan and toss thoroughly to coat them with the sauce. Push the noodles to one side of the pan to create space for the egg.
  4. Scramble Egg: Pour the lightly beaten egg into the empty side of the pan. Scramble the egg gently until it’s cooked to your preferred doneness. Then, mix the scrambled egg evenly into the noodles.
  5. Serve: Transfer the noodles and egg mixture to a bowl. Sprinkle Everything Bagel seasoning on top and garnish with sliced scallions if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use Korean brands like Nong Shim or Samyang for authentic flavor and texture.
  • Leaving a bit of water with the noodles helps prevent them from drying out during cooking.
  • Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes according to your spice preference.
  • Everything Bagel seasoning adds a savory crunch but can be omitted or replaced with sesame seeds if unavailable.
  • Add scallions or other fresh herbs for freshness and garnish.
