Ramen Burgers Recipe
Craving something unique and packed with flavor? This Ramen Burgers recipe brings together the best of both worlds – the comfort of an American burger and the distinct flavor profile of Japanese ramen noodles. In this dish, the traditional burger buns are replaced by crispy ramen patties, while a juicy beef patty or chicken fillet adds a mouthwatering twist. Garnished with toppings like scallions, sesame seeds, and a soy-based sauce, this burger is a delightful fusion of cultures that you must try!
Equipment
- Frying pan
- Molding rings (optional for shaping ramen patties)
- Spatula
- Pot for boiling ramen
Ingredients
- 2 packs of ramen noodles
- 2 eggs
- 500g ground beef or chicken
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 leaves of lettuce
- 4 slices of cheese (optional)
- Scallions and sesame seeds for garnish
- Teriyaki or hoisin sauce for drizzling
Instructions
- Prepare the ramen buns: Boil the ramen noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and mix with 1 beaten egg. Divide the noodles into 4 portions and shape into patties. Press down with a molding ring for consistency. Chill in the fridge for 10 minutes.
- Cook the ramen buns: Heat a frying pan over medium heat with a little oil. Fry the ramen patties until golden and crispy on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. Set aside.
- Prepare the burger patties: In a bowl, mix the ground beef or chicken with soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Form into 4 equal-sized patties.
- Cook the burger patties: In the same pan, cook the burger patties over medium heat for 4-5 minutes on each side, until fully cooked.
- Assemble the burgers: Place a ramen patty as the base, top with lettuce, the burger patty, cheese (optional), and scallions. Drizzle with teriyaki or hoisin sauce, then top with another ramen patty.
- Serve: Garnish with sesame seeds and serve immediately.
Notes
- You can swap beef for chicken or plant-based patties for a vegetarian option.
- Add a fried egg on top for an extra layer of flavor.
