After posting our TikTok pasta, I got a lot of requests for TikTok Ramen. I had never heard of it, but after a little digging, I discovered that it was basically amped-up ramen noodles with an egg for protein. You could also add all sorts of veggies: stir-fry the ginger and garlic with a little coleslaw mix, carrots, peas, etc. This is a great recipe to teach kids basic kitchen skills–I’ve also included ingredients to make a single serving because it’s one of our favorite quick lunches or dinners. You can add a fried egg (our favorite), scrambled egg, or even a soft-boiled egg, or these Easy Marinated Ramen Eggs.

- Dry ramen noodles – Discard the seasoning packs or set aside for another use.
- Butter
- Garlic cloves
- Soy sauce
- Water
- Brown sugar
- Sriracha sauce
- Green onions
- Eggs
- Everything but the bagel seasoning – If you’re not familiar with Everything Seasoning, it’s basically the seasoning that goes on Everything bagels. I get mine at Trader Joe’s but it’s widely available at most grocery stores.
How to Make TikTok Ramen
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the ramen noodles for 2 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Combine the soy sauce, water, brown sugar, and sriracha and set aside. For my family, 1/2 teaspoon of sriracha per person is perfect, but some people might want it more or less spicy.
- While the water is boiling and the noodles are cooking, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. When the butter is bubbly, add the garlic and ginger and cook for 1 minute. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the the soy sauce mixture. Cook until bubbly (about 1 minute). Add the noodles and stir to coat completely.
- Reduce the heat to medium and push the noodles to 1 side of the pan. If necessary, add a little more butter to the pan. If you’d like fried eggs, carefully crack the eggs into the pan. Scrambled eggs more your style? Crack the eggs into a bowl, whisk them together with a little water, then pour them into the pan. Cook until done (click HERE for a tutorial on fried eggs.)
- Divide the noodles among 4 bowls. Add egg and, if desired, additional sriracha, and sprinkle with green onions. Add Everything seasoning and enjoy!
Storing and Other Tips
- This ramen is best eaten fresh! If you have leftovers, store in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within 2-3 days for best results.
- These Easy Marinated Ramen Eggs can be made ahead and stored in the fridge to add to your ramen bowls needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
This method of doctoring up a basic ramen packet was inspired by viral videos on the TikTok app where users gave their quick noodle dinner an upgrade by stir-frying noodles in a sweet and savory sauce then topped it all off with seasonings and an added egg.
I like to pop them in my cupboard to use as a flavor boost for soups and broths, as a stir-fry seasoning or to season vegetables before roasting.
Yep. This recipe is written to serve 4, but you can definitely scale it down to a single serving if you’d like!
