# Ingredient List:
→ Noodles
01 - 2 packs instant ramen noodles — discard seasoning packets
→ Sauce & Seasonings
02 - 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
03 - 5 garlic cloves, minced
04 - 2 tablespoons soy sauce
05 - 1 tablespoon brown sugar
06 - 1 teaspoon sesame oil
07 - 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
→ Garnishes
08 - 2 green onions, thinly sliced
09 - 2 soft-boiled eggs (optional)
10 - 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
11 - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
# Directions:
01 - Bring a medium pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the ramen noodle blocks and cook according to package instructions until just tender. Drain thoroughly and set aside.
02 - While the noodles cook, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté 1–2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
03 - Stir in the soy sauce, brown sugar and sesame oil; cook about 1 minute until the sugar dissolves and the sauce becomes glossy. If desired, add the crushed red pepper flakes and stir to combine.
04 - Add the drained noodles to the skillet and use tongs or chopsticks to toss until every strand is evenly coated. Cook for an additional minute to warm through and meld flavors.
05 - Divide the noodles between bowls and top with sliced green onions, soft‑boiled eggs (if using), toasted sesame seeds and a grind of black pepper. Serve immediately.
