Ingredients

  • 1 package (130g) Shin Black Ramen (use noodles and not the seasoning packet)
  • 1 Tbsp (14g) unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp (3g) garlic, minced
  • ¼ tsp (.25g) red pepper flakes, or to taste
  • 1 tsp (4g) brown sugar
  • 1 Tbsp (15ml) soy sauce
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 green onion, thinly sliced for garnish
  • 1 tsp (3g) toasted sesame seeds, or to taste

Directions

  1. Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook your instant ramen to package directions (without the seasoning packet). Drain and set aside. 
  2. In a 12-inch nonstick pan, heat the butter over low heat. Add the garlic and cook until soft, about 1-2 minutes. 
  3. Stir in the crushed red pepper, brown sugar, and soy sauce. Add the drained noodles to the pan and toss to coat.
  4. Push the noodles to one side and add an egg to the pan. Scramble until just set.
  5. Place the noodles in a bowl and garnish with sliced scallions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve and enjoy!
