For the Noodles

For the Sauce

2 tablespoons Butter Provides a rich base; olive oil can be used for a lighter option.
3 cloves Garlic (minced) Fresh garlic shines better than powder.
1 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes Adjust to your spice preference.
2 tablespoons Brown Sugar Balances flavors with sweetness; swap with honey or omit for less sweetness.
3 tablespoons Soy Sauce Consider low-sodium for a healthier twist.

For the Garnish

1 large Egg (lightly beaten) Add a splash of soy sauce for enhanced flavor.
1 tablespoon Everything Bagel Seasoning A homemade blend works in a pinch.
2 tablespoons Scallion (sliced) Chives can be an excellent substitute if needed.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Bring a pot of water to a rapid boil. Add instant ramen noodles and cook for 3-4 minutes until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a medium pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes; sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in brown sugar and soy sauce, allowing them to dissolve for a luscious sauce.
Carefully add cooked noodles to the pan with the sauce, tossing gently to coat evenly.
Create a space in the center of the pan, pour in the beaten egg, and stir gently until fluffy. Mix into the noodles.
Transfer to a bowl, sprinkle with Everything Bagel Seasoning, and garnish with sliced scallions. Serve immediately.

For best results, enjoy fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 1 day.
