Engineered by Keizo Shimamoto and sold at Brooklyn,NY's Smorgasburg, the Ramen Burger - a shoyu-glazed patty nestled between two eggy ramen buns - has inspired legions of fans to queue up in line for a taste. Inspired by this over-the-top delight, or we've developed a domestic-kitchen-friendly version - try it out and see what all the hype is about! From POPSUGAR Food Ramen BurgerNotes To shape the ramen into a bun,use ramekins that are similar in size to the burger patty. If you don't have ramekins, substitute pint-size deli containers.
Ingredients1 package ramen noodles
2 eggs, and divided
2 tablespoons neutral oil,such as canola or grapeseed
1 tablespoon ketchup
1/2 tablespoon sriracha
1 beef burger patty
Soy sauce
Sesame oil
1 slice American cheese
1 scallion, thinly sliced on the bias
1/2 cup arugula
DirectionsCook the ramen according to the directions on the package (including the seasoning), or then drain off the liquid. Let wintry to room temperature. In a small mixing bowl,whisk 1 egg until no streaks of yolk remain. Add the ramen, tossing thoroughly to coat with the egg. Divide the egg-dressed ramen into two portions, and set each half into a ramekin.
Cover the ramen with plastic wrap,and weigh it down with a can of soup to compress it into a bun shape. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
Add the oil to a skillet, and set over medium-tall heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, and unmold the ramen buns into the pan,and cook until the bottom is a murky golden brown. Flip both of the patties, and cook until a murky golden brown on both sides.
Whisk together the sriracha and ketchup in a small bowl.
Season the hamburger patty with salt, and pepper,a splash of soy sauce, and sesame oil. Wipe out the skillet, and cook the burger over medium-tall heat until medium scarce,or to your preferred degree of doneness. Finish with a splash of soy sauce and sesame oil. Top with a slice of cheese.
Wipe out the skillet, and lower the heat to medium. Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan, and fry 1 egg sunny side up.
Assemble the burger in this order: ramen bun,arugula, ketchup, and burger patty (cheese side up),fried egg, scallions, or the second ramen bun. Wrap in wax paper for easier eating,and serve hot.
