The Best TikTok Ramen
There have been two viral TikTok ramen recipes recently. One is this Kylie Jenner Ramen, which is one of our most popular recipes on the blog, and the other is this unique brown sugar and soy sauce ramen that we'll be making today.
I'll admit I was initially hesitant about making this viral recipe since it just seemed odd. I mean, brown sugar and soy sauce with everything bagel seasoning and ramen noodles...sounds weird, right?
Well, it is a little out there, but my version of this viral ramen recipe has a balance of flavors that are unlike anything you've ever tried before, and it's amazing! Seriously, after just one bite, I was hooked.
This recipe creates a sweet, savory, and buttery sauce that coats the ramen noodles - the sauce alone is incredible. But the ramen noodles are also pan-fried a bit and topped with a fried egg and everything bagel seasoning making them simply irresistible.
And in addition to being delicious, this TikTok ramen recipe is also a breeze to make. All you have to do is cook the ramen noodles, make the sauce, and then combine everything together. It's really that simple!
By the way, since this recipe is so easy to make, you'll have plenty of time to work on some other tasty dishes to serve with it. If you're wondering what to serve with ramen, I recommend making this fried sushi recipe or this potato mochi recipe for the best takeout-inspired dinner.
Ingredients
The ingredients for this TikTok ramen recipe are pretty basic, and you might even have the majority of them on hand already!
Here's everything you'll need to make it:
- 1 package of instant ramen noodles
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon of everything bagel seasoning
- Green onions, thinly sliced, green part only
Simple stuff, right?
By the way, if you have some leftover ramen noodles after making this recipe, I highly suggest putting them to good use and making this spicy ramen recipe with them next. It's another one of my all-time favorite ramen recipes, so it's well worth making!
By the way, if you want to try another viral TikTok recipe, you have to make my cheesy TikTok spaghetti alfredo.
Ingredient Substitutions and Suggestions
While I always make this TikTok ramen recipe with the ingredients listed above, there's definitely room to switch things up to suit your preferences and possibly save you a trip to the store.
For instance, when it comes to add-ons, feel free to play around with whatever you have on hand. I suggest adding a drizzle of sesame oil to your ramen noodles or topping 'em with some toasted sesame seeds.
Also, if a scrambled egg isn't your thing, swap it for a soft-boiled egg or add some shredded leftover chicken instead.
As for the spiciness level, feel free to increase or decrease it to suit your preferences. The red chili flakes can be added to taste, and if you like your ramen extra spicy, you can add a few dashes of hot sauce or sriracha.
How To Make TikTok Ramen
Making this viral ramen should only take you about 10 minutes tops from start to finish, and most of that time is spent letting the ramen soak up the hot water until it cooks. It's honestly just a bit harder than making instant ramen noodles, but the flavor is 1000x better!
Anyway, let's stop wasting time and make some TikTok ramen!
Step 1: Cook Ramen Noodles
The first thing you'll need to do is cook the ramen noodles according to the package directions. Now, keep in mind you'll be adding your own seasonings to this recipe, so don't use the seasoning packet that comes with the ramen noodles.
Step 2: Make The Sauce
Now, while the noodles are cooking, you can grab a skillet, put it on the stovetop over medium heat, and melt the butter in it. Once the butter is melted, you can add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes to the skillet, and you can cook the garlic until it's fragrant.
When the garlic becomes fragrant, you can add the soy sauce and brown sugar to the skillet and then let everything simmer for a minute or two. Then, after a minute or so, you can continuously mix everything together until you have a slightly thickened sauce. Also, at this point, you can taste the sauce and adjust any seasoning as necessary.
Step 3: Combine All The Ingredients
When the ramen noodles are cooked, you can add them to the sauce and toss them around until they're fully coated in the flavorful sauce.
Next, you can slide the sauced noodles to one side of the pan, and then you can add the beaten egg to the other side. Now you can cook the egg - moving it back and forth to scramble it - for a minute or so.
Step 4: Serve The Ramen
Once the egg is cooked, you can top the ramen with the everything bagel seasoning and give it a stir to mix the seasoning into the noodles.
Finally, you can transfer the ramen to a plate and garnish it with the fried egg and sliced green onions.
Enjoy!
How To Store Cooked Ramen
This recipe for TikTok ramen makes 1 serving, but it's really easy to make a double or triple batch of this recipe with little added time. So, feel free to whip up some more of this ramen if you're already making it.
Then, if you end up with leftovers, you can transfer the cooked ramen noodles to an airtight container and store them in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Alternatively, if you want to keep this homemade ramen for even longer, you can freeze it in an airtight container - or freezer-safe bag - for up to 1 month.
How To Reheat Ramen
When you're ready to enjoy your TikTok ramen again, you'll definitely want to reheat it first. I suggest placing the leftovers in a pot set over medium heat and frequently stirring 'em until they reach your desired temperature.
Alternatively, you can microwave your leftovers. I usually do so in 20-second intervals, stirring between each one, until the ramen is fully reheated.
