Ingredients
  • 2 packages (about 400g) Ramen Noodles
  • 2 (about 150g each), seasoned to taste Burger Patties
  • 2 tbsp Soy Sauce
  • 1 tbsp Mirin
  • 1 tbsp Sesame Oil
  • 1 Egg
  • 2 Scallions
  • 2 sheets (optional) Nori Seaweed
  • Toppings

Preparing the Ramen 'Buns'

Cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions, discarding the seasoning packet. Drain the noodles well. In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, mirin, sesame oil, and egg. Add the drained noodles to the bowl and mix well to coat them evenly.

Forming the Ramen 'Buns'

Divide the noodle mixture into four equal portions. In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, place two portions of noodles, shaping them into a circular 'bun' shape about the size of your burger patties. Press down gently to compact the noodles. Cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the remaining two portions.

Cooking the Burger Patties

While the ramen 'buns' are cooking, grill or pan-fry the burger patties to your desired level of doneness. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Assembling the Ramen Burger

Place one ramen 'bun' on a plate. Top with your desired toppings such as lettuce, tomato, sriracha mayo, and kimchi (if using). Place the cooked burger patty on top of the toppings. Add a sheet of nori seaweed (optional). Top with the second ramen 'bun'. Serve immediately and enjoy!
