Ramen Burgers
Ramen burgers combine the best of both worlds—crispy ramen noodle 'buns' and juicy burger patties. A fun and delicious fusion dish!
Equipment
- Large pot
- Mixing bowls
- Skillet or grill pan
- Spatula
- Burger press or small bowl for shaping
- Knife
- Chopping board
Ingredients
- 4 packs ramen noodles uncooked
- 2 eggs beaten
- 1 lb ground beef preferably 80/20
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp salt divided
- 0.5 tsp black pepper ground
- 4 lettuce leaves for topping
- 4 sliced cheese optional, for topping
- 4 slices of tomato optional, for topping
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil for cooking
Instructions
- Cook the ramen noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water.
- Divide the noodles into 8 portions and mix each portion with a small amount of beaten egg.
- Place the noodle portions into small bowls or ramekins to form a circular 'bun' shape. Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to set.
- While the ramen buns are chilling, mix the ground beef with soy sauce, sesame oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Form into 4 burger patties.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chilled ramen buns for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Set aside.
- In the same skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil and cook the burger patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired doneness.
- Assemble the ramen burgers by layering one ramen bun, lettuce, a burger patty, cheese (if using), tomato slices, and finishing with another ramen bun.
- Serve immediately while warm. Enjoy the unique fusion of flavors!
Notes
For extra flavor, you can add a dollop of spicy mayo or teriyaki sauce before assembling the burger. For vegetarian options, replace the beef patty with a plant-based alternative.
