Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pack instant ramen noodles
- 1 large eggs
- 15 mL (1 tbsp) soy sauce
- 14 g (1 tbsp) butter
- 10 g (2 tsp) minced garlic
- 4 g (1 tsp) brown sugar
- 0.5 g (¼ tsp) red pepper flakes
- Everything bagel seasoning (to taste)
Instructions
- Noodle Preparation: Cook ramen noodles per package guidelines, drain completely, and set aside in a separate bowl.
- Flavor Foundation: Heat skillet on medium, melt unsalted butter, then sauté garlic and red pepper flakes until golden and aromatic, approximately 60 seconds.
- Sauce Creation: Whisk dark soy sauce and brown sugar into the skillet, developing a rich, caramelized glaze that coats the pan’s ingredients.
- Noodle Infusion: Introduce drained noodles to the skillet, using tongs to thoroughly coat each strand with the sweet and spicy mixture, ensuring comprehensive flavor integration.
- Egg Incorporation: Create a central space in the pan, crack an egg directly into the clearing, and swiftly scramble until fully cooked with crispy edges.
- Final Assembly: Remove from heat, gently fold scrambled egg throughout the noodle mixture, guaranteeing uniform distribution and texture.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning generously over the dish, adding a final layer of complex flavor and textural dimension before serving immediately.
Notes
- Butter Tip: Use unsalted butter to control salt levels and prevent over-seasoning in the final dish.
- Garlic Technique: Finely chop garlic to ensure even flavor distribution and prevent burning during quick sautéing.
- Egg Cooking Hack: Scramble the egg directly in the pan for maximum flavor infusion and a crispy, textured finish.
- Seasoning Secret: Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning just before serving to maintain its crunchy texture and preserve its vibrant flavor profile.
