Ingredients

  • 1 pack Instant Ramen Noodles spice packet not needed
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon garlic minced
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons Thecha Chutney or chili flakes
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar

  • 1 tablespoon scallions diced
  • 1 teaspoon everything but bagel seasoning or toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

  • Cook the ramen noodles according to the package directions. Do not overcook them, al dente noodles work the best. Reserve the starchy water.
  • In a medium pan heat butter. Add garlic and saute for 30 seconds or until fragrant. Remember to not brown the garlic. Add the chutney and soy sauce. Mix well and cook on low heat for 30 seconds. Mix in brown sugar.
  • Add the cooked noodles and mix well with a pair of tongs. Add the starchy water from the cooked noodles and cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until most of the water has evaporated.
  • Move the noodles on one side and add an egg to the empty side of the pan. Cook the egg and then mix it in the noodles. Turn the heat off.
  • Serve the noodles hot, garnished with scallions, and sprinkle everything but bagel seasoning or toasted sesame seeds.

Notes

Tips
  • Follow the package instructions and cook the noodles al dente 
  • Do not burn the garlic, you want to cook it just until fragrant 
  • I have used the Kolhapuri Thecha chutney which is super spicy and tasty! You can also use red chili flakes instead or use your favorite sauce like the chili garlic sauce or sriracha sauce 
  • Reserve some of the water after cooking the noodles and add it to the noodles to make them creamy and prevent them from drying 
  • You can also use Maggi noodles instead of the ramen noodles
  • Go creative with the garnish! I have kept it to the basics in this recipe and also kept it close to the trending recipe but here a few ideas:
    • top with fresh cilantro
    • dot with extra hot sauce,
    • throw on some chopped peanuts
    • add a squeeze of lime.
