Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 package Top Ramen, any flavor (discard packet)
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 scallions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds, optional

Method
 

  1. Cook the ramen according to package directions. Drain, saving 1/4 cup noodle water.
  2. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook 1 minute, stirring.
  3. Remove from heat, stir in soy sauce, brown sugar, and sesame oil until sugar melts.
  4. Return pan to low heat, add noodles, and toss with reserved water a tablespoon at a time until glossy.
  5. Fry the egg in a separate oiled skillet over medium low until the white is set and yolk is runny, about 3 minutes.
  6. Transfer noodles to a bowl, top with the egg, scallions, and sesame seeds. Serve right away.

Notes

If you’re making more than one serving, cook eggs one at a time and keep them warm on a plate while you toss the sauce and noodles.
