Ingredients

  • 3- ounce package instant ramen seasoning packet discarded
  • 1 tablespoon butter preferably unsalted
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh garlic or 1/2 teaspoon dried minced garlic, or 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (or more/less to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes or more/less to taste
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce regular or low-sodium
  • 1 teaspoon light or dark brown sugar or granulated sugar or honey
  • 1 egg lightly beaten
  • Everything bagel seasoning for serving
  • Chopped green onions for serving optional

Instructions

  • Cook the ramen according to the package directions, stopping shortly before the suggested cooking time (stop about 45 seconds early; the noodles will continue to cook in the sauce). Drain and set aside.
  • Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook for 1 minute, until the garlic is lightly toasted and soft. Add the soy sauce and brown sugar and cook until the sugar dissolves. Add the noodles and stir to coat them with the sauce.
  • Push the noodles to one side of the pan. Increase the heat to medium-high.
  • Add the egg to the empty side of the pan and cook until scrambled but still moist.
  • Fold the egg into the noodles. Top the noodles with the everything bagel seasoning and green onions (if using) and serve.
