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
- Cook the noodles according to package instructions. Drain most of the water, leaving 1-2 tablespoons in with the noodles to prevent drying out.
- Melt butter in a pan over medium heat. Add garlic and red pepper flakes and stir until the garlic is soft – about 1 minute.
- Add the brown sugar and soy sauce. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
- Add the cooked noodles and toss to coat. Push the noodles to the side to make space for the egg.
- Add the lightly beaten egg and scramble until cooked to your desired doneness. Mix egg and noodles to combine.
- Serve in a bowl topped with Everything Bagel Seasoning and sliced scallions if desired.
Notes
- Adjust spice level by increasing or reducing red pepper flakes.
- Add protein like chicken or shrimp for a more filling meal.
