  • 1 tsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup reserved pasta water
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 2 tsp everything bagel seasoning

Instructions

  1. Boil the ramen noodles until just tender, about 2-3 minutes. Reserve 1/4 cup of the cooking water, then drain the noodles.

  3. Stir in brown sugar and soy sauce; let the mixture bubble slightly to combine flavors.
  4. Add the cooked noodles back to the pan along with the reserved pasta water to create a silky sauce.
  5. Pour in the lightly beaten egg and stir quickly and continuously to coat the noodles. The egg cooks instantly, adding richness.
  6. Sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning, top with sliced green onions, and serve hot.
