  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 1 servings

Description

This Sweet & Spicy Ramen Noodle Stir Fry features tender instant ramen tossed in a buttery garlic sauce balanced with brown sugar and red pepper flakes, topped with a scrambled egg and everything bagel seasoning for a flavor-packed meal. Perfect for busy weeknights or whenever you need a fast, satisfying dinner that tastes anything but ordinary.

Ingredients

  • 1 pack instant ramen noodles, any flavor variety works, though plain or chicken flavored are best
  • 1 tablespoon butter, for richness and to prevent sticking
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic, fresh or jarred both work well
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, adjust up or down depending on heat preference
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce, or tamari for a gluten-free version
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar, balances the heat with sweetness
  • 1 large egg, beaten just before cooking
  • everything bagel seasoning, sprinkle to taste for final garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the Noodles: Bring a pot of water to a boil and add the ramen noodles, cooking for 3 minutes until just tender. Drain well and set aside, discarding the flavor packet or saving it for another use.
  2. Prepare the Egg: Crack the egg into a small bowl and beat it with a fork until fully combined. Set aside.
  3. Mix the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, and red pepper flakes. This creates your sweet and spicy base.
  4. Melt the Butter: In a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat, melt the butter until it foams, about 1 minute.
  5. Sauté the Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the butter and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring constantly so it doesn't burn.
  6. Add the Noodles: Pour the drained ramen into the skillet and toss to coat with the buttery garlic mixture, stirring for about 2 minutes.
  7. Pour the Sauce: Add the sweet and spicy sauce to the noodles and toss everything together, making sure every strand is coated, for about 1 minute.
  8. Create a Noodle Well: Push the noodles to the sides of the skillet, creating a small space in the center.
  9. Cook the Egg: Pour the beaten egg into the center space and let it cook undisturbed for about 15 seconds, then scramble it gently with a spatula, mixing it into the noodles for another 20-30 seconds until the egg is just set.
  10. Finish and Garnish: Remove from heat and transfer to a bowl, then sprinkle everything bagel seasoning over the top to taste.
