Instructions
Prepare Ramen Noodle Buns
- Cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions, then drain and let cool.
- Mix the cooled noodles with the beaten egg thoroughly.
- Divide the mixture in halves and press each half into a round, flat shape around 1 inch thick.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Cook each noodle patty until golden and crispy on both sides.
Cook Beef Patties
- Form the ground beef into two patties.
- Heat another tablespoon of vegetable oil in a pan over medium-high heat.
- Cook each beef patty for about 3-4 minutes on each side until cooked through.
- Add a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty just before removing from the pan, allowing it to melt slightly.
Assemble Ramen Burger
- Place a layer of lettuce on one ramen bun, followed by a beef patty with melted cheese and two slices of tomato.
- Drizzle 1 tablespoon of soy sauce over the patty.
- Cover with the second ramen noodle bun.
- Repeat for the second burger.
Prepare Miso Soup
- Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a saucepan.
- Reduce heat to a simmer and add the miso paste, stirring until the paste dissolves.
- Add the cubed tofu, chopped green onions, and seaweed.
- Let the soup simmer for 5 minutes.
- Serve in bowls and garnish with sesame seeds.
Tips
- Ensure the ramen noodles are well-cooled and slightly sticky before shaping them into buns; this helps them hold together better during cooking.
- For extra flavor, marinate the beef patties in a mixture of soy sauce, garlic, and ginger for 30 minutes before cooking.
- To make the ramen buns spicier, you can add some chili flakes or sriracha sauce to the noodle and egg mixture.
- Always taste the miso soup and adjust the saltiness by either adding more miso paste or water, depending on your preference.
- Roasting the sesame seeds lightly before garnishing the soup can enhance their aroma and flavor.
