Do you like ramen? Do you like eggs? Then you should try this...
A friend who lived and studied in Japan for a year taught me this recipe. As you probably know, college students are the ones who like to get creative with food because they usually never have any. This particular recipe involves a college staple: ramen.
It’s based off of the Japanese food
okonomiyaki, a sort of pizza-pancake made out of noodles. The toppings usually include a type of sauce, like mayonnaise (which is different from ours, more sweet), and fillings like meats, and topped with seaweed flakes (which wiggle in an eerie way because of the heat). It’s basically Japanese soul food and it’s really, really good. Looks like this:
Okonomiyaki perfection
Only this is different because you’re using ramen instead of udon or yakisoba. It sounds odd, but once you try it, you’ll be making it for breakfast, dinner, and probably for hangover days too. I recommend trying chicken flavor first.
The Ramlette
Ingredients: 1 packet of ramen to 2 eggs (you can double up and make a big one)
Toppings of your choice: cheese, tomatoes, sriracha hot chili sauce
Prep time: 10 – 15 minutes
Step 1: Boil the ramen noodles. If you want it done faster, nuke them.
Step 2: While the noodles cook, crack two eggs into a bowl.
Step 3: Add your packet of ramen seasonings to the bowl.
Step 4: Drain your noodles in a strainer.
Step 5: Get out your frying pan and place it on the stove with some cooking oil/spray covering the bottom. Turn on medium temperature.
Step 7: Pour noodles into egg mixture and stir until evenly mixed.
Step 8: Pour egg-noodle mixture into pan. You’re basically cooking a pancake now. Cook on medium-high. Let cook until the edges begin to crisp. This takes about five minutes. Flip.
Step 9: After flipping the other side, it is now time for toppings.
Step 10: Let cook until bottom is crispy and toppings are gooey.
