Ingredients

1 package ramen noodles (3.5 ounce)
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
1/4–1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/4 cup reserved broth from ramen
1 egg, lightly beaten
1–2 teaspoons everything bagel seasoning
Sliced green onions (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Cook the ramen noodles al dente according to the package directions. You may add the seasoning packet if you like. Before draining, reserve 1/4 cup of the broth, then drain the noodles.
Step 2: In a separate pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, cooking for about one minute until fragrant.
Step 3: Stir in the brown sugar, soy sauce, and reserved broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for about two minutes. Add the cooked noodles and toss to coat well in the sauce.
Step 4: Beat the egg lightly in a small bowl. Push the noodles to one side of the pan, then slowly pour in the beaten egg. When it begins to set, gently stir to create ribbons of cooked egg throughout the noodles.
Step 5: Transfer the ramen to a serving bowl. Sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning, sliced green onions, and add sriracha if you want an extra kick.

Tips & Variations

For a creamier sauce, stir in a splash of heavy cream or milk along with the broth.
Add cooked vegetables like spinach or mushrooms for extra nutrition and flavor.
Swap out red pepper flakes for chili garlic sauce for a different kind of heat.
Use turkey bacon or cooked chicken for added protein if desired.

Storage

Store leftover TikTok ramen in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. When reheating, add a splash of water or broth to prevent the noodles from drying out, and heat gently on the stove or in the microwave.
