What is TikTok ramen?

Tiktok ramen is basically instant ramen, minus the seasoning packet, made with a super easy, homemade sauce, egg, and topped with everything bagel seasoning.

TikTok ramen ingredients

• Ramen – One package of ramen noodles. You don’t need the seasoning packet. Choose your favorite brand of instant noodles like Maruchan, Top Ramen, or even homemade ramen.
• Butter – A little unsalted butter to make the sauce.
• Garlic – Minced garlic is used for this recipe.
• Red Pepper Flakes – This adds a little heat. You can omit if you don’t like spicy food.
• Light Brown Sugar – A hint of sweetness to the dish.
• Soy Sauce – You can use regular soy sauce or low sodium soy sauce.
• Egg – I like making a scrambled egg but you can prepare the egg to your preference.
• Everything Bagel Seasoning – You might not think you need this extra spice but it really does add amazing flavor. There are many brands of this seasoning mix but you could also make your own.
• Green Onion – This is optional but I like the color it brings to the dish.

Step one: Noodles – Begin by cooking the noodles. Be sure not to overcook them. They can be a little al dente because they will continue cooking in the sauce. Once they have finished cooking, drain off the water.

Step two: Sauce – Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Stir in minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes into the melted butter for 1-2 minutes. Stir in brown sugar and soy sauce.

Step three: Egg – Stir the cooked noodles into the sauce to coat. Push the noodles to the side of the pan and pour in the beaten egg. Cook the egg until fluffy and then stir in with the noodles to combine.

Step four: Season – Top the ramen with everything bagel seasoning and diced green onion.

Heather’s recipe tips

• If you like your ramen really saucy, you can double the sauce recipe.

Homemade everything bagel spice

Don’t have a bottle of this bagel seasoning? Not to worry, you can easily make your own. Just combine:

• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 1 tablespoon dried minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon dried minced onion
• 1 tablespoon poppy seeds

TikTok ramen variations

Like I mentioned earlier, this recipe is pretty forgiving and you can experiment with other flavors. Here are a few suggestions:

Seasoning – You can substitute the everything bagel seasoning with sesame seeds.

Protein – If you don’t like scrambled eggs, or eggs, you can substitute with leftover chicken, cooked diced pork tenderloin, shrimp, or even tofu.

Vegetables – Try adding in a few veggies like peas, diced onion, or diced bell peppers.

How to store leftover ramen

Store: If you have any leftovers, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat in the microwave for about 1 minute or until heated through.
