Ingredients
- 2 packs instant ramen noodles (discard seasoning packets)
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- 4 leaves lettuce
- 4 slices tomato
- 4 tablespoons Japanese mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sriracha (optional)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Cook ramen noodles according to package directions, but undercook by 1 minute. Drain and rinse with cold water. Toss with beaten eggs until well coated.
- Divide noodle mixture into 8 equal portions. On a parchment-lined baking sheet, shape each portion into a thin patty about the size of a burger bun. Refrigerate for 10 minutes to set.
- In a bowl, combine ground beef, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently and form into 4 patties, slightly larger than the noodle patties (they will shrink).
- Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook noodle patties in batches, 3-4 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Transfer to a plate.
- In the same skillet, cook beef patties to desired doneness (about 4 minutes per side for medium). In the last minute, top each with a slice of cheese and cover to melt.
- Assemble burgers: spread mayonnaise (and sriracha if using) on one noodle bun. Top with lettuce, tomato, beef patty, and another noodle bun. Serve immediately.
Tips
- For extra crispy noodle buns, press them firmly while cooking with a spatula.
- You can prepare the noodle buns ahead and reheat in a toaster oven.
- Substitute ground chicken or turkey for a lighter version.
