Ramen Buns

Toppings

Method

Prepare Ramen Buns

  1. 1

    Cook Ramen Noodles

    Boil water in a pot, add instant ramen noodles, and cook according to package instructions, usually about 3-4 minutes. Once cooked, drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Mix Ramen with Eggs

    In a large bowl, combine the cooked ramen noodles, beaten eggs, and salt. Mix thoroughly until the noodles are coated with the egg.

  3. 3

    Form Ramen Buns

    Grease a small round mold or a muffin tin with oil. Press the ramen mixture into the mold to form bun shapes. Make sure they are compact and even.

  4. 4

    Cook Ramen Buns

    Heat oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully remove the molded ramen buns and place them in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.

Prepare Burger Patty

  1. 5

    Mix Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently until well combined.

  2. 6

    Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and form into patties that are slightly larger than the ramen buns.

  3. 7

    Cook Patties

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired doneness. Add a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.

Assemble Burger

  1. 8

    Layer Ingredients

    On one ramen bun, place the cooked burger patty with melted cheese. Top with lettuce, tomato slices, pickles, ketchup, and mayonnaise.

  2. 9

    Complete Burger

    Finish by placing the second ramen bun on top. Gently press down to secure and serve immediately.
