Kadyn IannettiIngredients
- 2 packages Chicken flavored ramen
- 2 tbsp Butter
- measure with your heart Minced garlic
- 1-2 Egg
- 2 tbsp Low sodium soy sauce
- Crushed red pepper flakes
- 1-1 1/2 tbsp Sesame oil
Instructions
- 1Cook ramen according to directions on the package. Don’t add seasoning packets until later!
- 2While the noodles are boiling, add the butter and garlic to a wok and sauté on medium-low heat for 1-2 minutes.
- 3Crack egg(s) in the butter and garlic mixture and scramble until cooked thoroughly. Turn heat to LOW. Add cooked noodles to the wok without the pasta water; save the pasta water for later!
- 4Toss noodles in the garlic, butter, and egg mixture adding in the soy sauce, red pepper flakes, and seasoning packets.
- 5If you like your ramen to be brothy, add some of the pasta water into the wok. I personally prefer less broth, so I don’t add much (if any).
- 6Once you have removed the ramen from any heat, add in the sesame oil and top with more red pepper flakes and green onion if desired. Enjoy!

Open in Pepper →A Pack Of Noodles Goes A Long Way
A package of ramen costs next to nothing, and with butter, garlic, soy sauce and an egg it turns into a real bowl of dinner. That's the kind of cooking worth knowing by heart.
Cooks on Pepper reach for these on the nights nobody planned ahead — late practice, long shift, or a kid who suddenly wants something hot at 8 p.m.
Every recipe here starts with noodles you already have. Spicy Garlic Ramen leans on butter and minced garlic, TikTok ramen goes soy sauce and brown sugar, Shiitake Ramen simmers in chicken broth, and One Pot Ground Mongolian Beef Ramen makes it a full meal with a pound of ground beef.
Quick Tips
- 1
Cook noodles a minute short
Pull the noodles about 1 minute before the package says. They keep softening in hot broth or sauce.
- 2
Save the noodle water
Keep 1/4 cup of the starchy cooking water to loosen a thick butter-and-soy sauce so it clings to the noodles.
- 3
Soft boil the eggs
Drop cold eggs into boiling water for 7 minutes, then straight into ice water for 2 minutes before peeling.
- 4
Add miso off the heat
Stir 2 tablespoons of miso paste into broth after you cut the burner off so it stays smooth and doesn't turn grainy.
