Ramen Fried Rice

Step 1

Open the cup ramen and set aside the spice packet.

Step 2

Crush the noodles.

Step 3

Heat a pan on medium heat. Add 1 tbsp of neutral oil once the pan comes up to temperature.

Step 4

Add the crushed ramen noodles. Stir continuously and move around the pan to toast evenly and not burn it.

Step 5

After 2 minutes, the crushed noodles should be golden brown and crispy.

Step 6

Set aside in another bowl. Add ⅓ of the spice packet to the crispy noodles while hot. Mix to combine. Reserve 2 tbsp of the crispy noodles for garnish later.

Step 7

In a large mixing bowl, add the rice, egg, and rest of the spice packet. Mix well until all the rice granules are covered with the egg.

Step 8

Heat a large non-stick or well-seasoned pan on high. Add the butter in.

Step 9

Once the butter has melted, add the egg and rice mixture to the pan.

Step 10

Spread the rice mixture thinly, leaving holes in between for the steam to escape.

Step 11

Stir the rice and fry until the egg on the rice has cooked. This process will take around 4 minutes. Toss to combine.

Step 12

Add the crispy noodles to the fried rice. Toss to combine.

Step 13

Drizzle in the sesame oil and sesame seeds into the cup ramen container. Add the crispy ramen, then add the fried rice. Make sure to pack the rice firmly so that it will hold its shape. Enjoy!!!
