How to Make TikTok 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)
Directions:
- 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 with the sauce. Push the noodles to the side to give space for the egg.
- Add the slightly beaten egg and scramble until cooked to your desired doneness. Mix the egg and noodles to combine.
- Serve in a bowl with Everything Bagel seasoning sprinkled on top. Enjoy!
How to Serve TikTok Ramen
Serve your TikTok Ramen hot in a bowl. You can add sliced scallions on top for extra flavor. Feel free to enjoy it alone or pair it with some steamed vegetables or protein for a complete meal.
How to Store TikTok Ramen
If you have leftovers, you can store TikTok Ramen in an airtight container in the fridge. It will keep well for about 1-2 days. To reheat, add a splash of water to help steam the noodles, and warm it in the microwave or on the stove.
Tips to Make TikTok Ramen
- Adjust the spice: If you like it spicy, add more red pepper flakes. You can also include hot sauce for extra heat.
- Customize: Feel free to add other ingredients like vegetables, meat, or tofu for added nutrition and flavor.
- Don’t overcook the egg: For a creamier texture, cook the egg just until set, then mix it through the noodles.
Variation
You can make this recipe vegetarian by omitting the egg or using a plant-based egg substitute. You can also try adding different seasonings like sesame oil or ginger for a twist on flavor.
