Ingredients

Ramen

  • 1 (3.5 ounce) package instant ramen noodles (exclude seasoning packet)

Sauce and Seasoning

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • ¼ teaspoon red chili flakes
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • ¼ cup reserved pasta water

Egg and Garnish

  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 2 teaspoons everything bagel seasoning
  • Green onions, thinly sliced (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook Ramen Noodles: Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil and add the instant ramen noodles. Cook according to package instructions until soft, then drain the noodles, reserving ¼ cup of the pasta water for later use.
  2. Sauté Garlic: In the same pan used for boiling, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute, being careful not to burn the garlic.
  3. Add Flavorings: Stir in the red chili flakes, brown sugar, and soy sauce. Cook for 30 seconds, allowing the flavors to meld and the sugar to dissolve.
  4. Simmer Sauce: Pour the reserved pasta water into the pan and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. This will help create a silky sauce to coat the noodles.
  5. Toss Noodles: Add the cooked ramen noodles back into the pan and toss them in the sauce to coat evenly, ensuring every strand is flavorful.
  6. Scramble Egg: Push the noodles to one side of the pan. Pour the beaten egg into the empty side and scramble lightly using a spatula. Once partially cooked, mix the egg through the noodles until fully combined.
  7. Finish and Serve: Sprinkle the everything bagel seasoning over the noodles and optionally garnish with thinly sliced green onions. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • Excluding the seasoning packet from the instant ramen reduces excess sodium and allows better control over flavor.
  • Adjust red chili flakes according to your spice preference.
  • Using the reserved pasta water helps create a cohesive and silky sauce.
  • Everything bagel seasoning adds a unique, savory crunch but can be omitted or substituted with sesame seeds if desired.
  • Green onions add freshness but are optional.
  • This recipe serves one but can be multiplied easily for more servings.
