Instant noodles with egg, butter and garlic I am a food blog

Hello! I come back to this with a Tiktok ramen recipe. I'm pretty sure I'm addicted to Tiktok and all the viral food hacks they have, I'm hooked. This Tiktok ramen was too easy not to try. Plus, I had all the ingredients in the pantry so it was a quick and satisfying lunch. It was delicious!

Tiktok ramen is bold, slightly sweet, full of umami, and really good. The flavors remind me of an extra garlic version of one of my all-time favorite instant noodles - Indomie Mi Goreng, which is a version of Indonesian fried noodles.

I feel like everyone has their favorite way of making instant ramen. To be honest, I think instant ramen is one of the greatest inventions. The person who invented it, Momofuku Ando, ​​a Taiwanese-Japanese inventor, has a quote that I love: Human beings are noodle beings.

I'm definitely a noodle being and all I want to do is eat noodles and live this noodle life.

What is Tiktok ramen?

Tiktok ramen is where you use instant ramen noodles, ditch the seasoning packet, and make your own sauce. Unlike soup ramen, Tiktok ramen is soupless ramen, much like mazes or sesame noodles. The ramen noodles are mixed with a brown soy sauce with garlic butter, cooked with an egg, and finished with a dash of all the bagel seasoning.

Does Tiktok ramen taste good?

In short: YES! Tiktok ramen is sweet and savory with an added richness of butter and egg, and just a hint of spice. Super addictive.

How to make Tiktok ramen

1. Cook your instant ramen. Don't overcook, the mushy noodles are a sham. Instant ramen must have an al dente bite. Put the noodles in boiling water, set a timer, use a couple of toothpicks to chop them, and when the time is up, drain them instantly and set aside. Pro Tip: If you are a true noodle lover, cook the noodles a little less than the suggested cooking time, they will cook a bit longer as you add them to the sauce. This way you will have perfectly al dente noodles.
2. Make the sauce. In a frying pan, heat the butter over low heat. Add garlic and cook until tender. Add the crushed red pepper, then the brown sugar and soy sauce.
3. Launch. Add drained noodles to skillet, increase heat, and toss to coat.
4. Cook the egg. Push the noodles aside and add an egg to the pan and mix until done.
5. Serve. Place the noodles in a bowl and finish with the sliced ​​green onions and all the spice from the bagel. Enjoy hot!

Tiktok Ramen Ingredients

instant ramen - choose your favorite brand of instant ramen. The taste doesn't matter because you won't use the seasoning pack. Our favorite noodles are Nong Shim Shin Ramyun due to the thickness of the noodles.

• Garlic - you need about 1 teaspoon minced or minced garlic. Or, if you are a garlic lover, use as many cloves as you can.

• Egg - throw an egg because eggless ramen isn't even ramen.

Why all spicy bagels?

Anything spicy for a bagel is LIFE. Also, when you think about it, anything spicy for bagels is basically furikake, which is the seasoning for Japanese rice. Furikake is a condiment made from roasted sesame seeds and seaweed and is eaten over rice and noodles. In Japan, they even have furikake chips. It makes sense that Tiktok ramen uses all the bagel spices to garnish the ramen, after all, they have sesame seeds in common.

How to make homemade bagel spices

If you don't have all the bagel spices, it's so easy to mix your own.

In a small bowl, mix:
1.5 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
1 tablespoon poppy seeds, minced garlic, and minced onion
