TikTok Ramen (Sweet-Savory Noodle Hack)
A buttery, garlicky, sweet-savory stir-fry made from instant noodles — this TikTok-famous ramen is quick, cozy, and packed with flavor.
Equipment
- Saucepan or skillet
- Tongs or chopsticks
- Mixing spoon
- Bowl for serving
Ingredients
- 1 pack instant ramen any brand, discard seasoning packet
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon chili flakes optional, for spice
- 1 egg
- ½ teaspoon sesame seeds for topping
- 1 green onion finely sliced (for garnish)
Instructions
- Boil noodles according to package directions (2–3 minutes). Drain and set aside.
- In a pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
- Add brown sugar, soy sauce, and chili flakes (if using). Stir until sugar dissolves and the sauce thickens slightly.
- Add noodles to the pan and toss well until evenly coated.
- Push noodles to one side, crack in the egg, and scramble lightly until just set.
- Toss together with noodles, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and finish with green onion.
- Serve immediately — glossy, buttery, and oh-so-good.
Notes
💡 Don’t overcook the noodles — slightly firm noodles hold the sauce best.
🧊 For extra glossy texture, toss the noodles in the sauce over low heat for 30 seconds before serving.
