Ingredients
Scale
Noodles and Sauce
- 1 pack instant ramen noodles (discard flavor packet)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sriracha, or to taste
- 1 large egg
- 1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese or mozzarella
Garnish
- 1 green onion, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds (optional)
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Cook the Noodles: Fill a small pot with water and bring it to a rolling boil. Add the instant ramen noodles and cook according to the package instructions until just tender, about 2–3 minutes. Drain the noodles, reserving 2 tablespoons of the cooking water for sauce preparation.
- Sauté Garlic in Butter: While the noodles cook, melt the unsalted butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the finely minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute, stirring constantly until fragrant but not browned.
- Prepare Sauce: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, shredded cheddar cheese or mozzarella, soy sauce, sriracha, and the reserved noodle cooking water until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Combine Noodles and Garlic: Add the drained noodles to the skillet with sautéed garlic. Reduce the heat to low to prevent the egg from cooking too quickly.
- Finish with Egg and Cheese Sauce: Pour the prepared egg and cheese mixture over the noodles. Stir continuously using tongs or chopsticks for 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and fully coats the noodles, being careful to avoid scrambling the egg.
- Garnish and Serve: Transfer the creamy cheesy noodles to a serving bowl. Top with thinly sliced green onion, toasted sesame seeds if using, and a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper. Serve immediately while hot for best flavor.
Notes
- Be sure to stir the egg and cheese mixture constantly when adding to the noodles to avoid scrambling the egg.
- You can adjust sriracha quantity to control the spiciness according to your taste preference.
- Use any shredded cheese you prefer, though cheddar and mozzarella provide the best melt and flavor.
- Reserved noodle water helps to loosen the sauce and enhance creaminess.
- Garnishes like toasted sesame seeds and green onions add texture and freshness but can be omitted if unavailable.
