Ramen is continually scorching throughout my TikTok, so I needed to attempt a pair recipes out for myself.
Meals TikTok (or “Meals Tok” as I wish to name it) is a literal godsend. I’ve been launched to so many new recipes, and creative ways to boost meals I already love.
That being stated: I made a decision to attempt two of the largest, most viral ramen recipes — tacky ramen and brown sugar ramen — for myself, after which offer you all my scores. Here is the way it went:
Here is what you want:

Elements:
Ramen pack
Butter
1 egg
Soy sauce
Garlic
1 spoonful of brown sugar
1 spoonful of purple pepper flakes
Sriracha (optionally available)
Dried seaweed snacks (optionally available)
First, whereas your noods are boiling, soften 2 TBSP of butter in a pan with some garlic (about 3 cloves).
Then, add your purple pepper flakes (a few teaspoon), soy sauce (as a lot as you need), and a spoonful of brown sugar to the pan with the butter and garlic. Right here is the place you may add in a couple of squirts of sriracha as nicely when you like your ramen additional spicy.

Combine all of it collectively and it ought to begin scorching in a couple of seconds.
Subsequent, add in your noods and blend it into the sauce.
Now for the perfect half — crack an egg (or two when you’re craving protein) and let it cook dinner for a minute or two earlier than mixing it into the noods.
And that is it! I’ve seen lots of people add seaweed sprinkles, sesame seeds, or Every part Bagel seasoning to garnish their dish as nicely, so I crushed up a bit of dried seaweed so as to add on prime for additional taste.
When you pop these noods in a bowl, it is time for the style take a look at.

Total, this dish is freaking scrumptious — 7/10. I like the stability between the sweetness of the brown sugar and the spiciness of the purple pepper flakes. I believe if I had been to make it once more, nevertheless, I might minimize the brown sugar in half and solely use a tiny spoonful. The brown sugar generally is a bit overpowering. After the fifth chew, I acquired overwhelmed by the sweetness and was craving one thing saltier.
This one is tremendous easy. You solely want these 5 components:

Elements:
Sriracha
Cheddar cheese (or cheese of your selection)
1-2 TBSP of butter
Ramen pack
1/4 cup of heavy cream
Dried seaweed (optionally available)
Begin by melting about 1 or 2 tablespoon of butter in a pan after which add a few 1/4 cup of heavy cream.
Subsequent, add in your cheese to the pan with the heavy cream and butter and let it soften. The viral recipe is made with 2 slices of American cheese, however since I can’t bodily convey myself to buy that cheese, I opted for normal cheddar.
As soon as the cheese begins to soften, add in a couple of squirts of sriracha.
Here is the place you get to customise a bit: The unique model of this recipe is made with out including within the contents of the spice packet that comes with the ramen. I made a decision to go forward and add my spice packets in, after I noticed a couple of variations of this dish verify it’s certainly scrumptious.
After you’ve got combined these components and it is all effervescent collectively, you may go forward and throw in your noods.
As soon as once more, the crushed seaweed on prime is an optionally available garnish. I identical to just a little additional taste.
And the second of fact…
OK, can verify — it is a strong 8/10. In all probability would have been a ten/10, however I added a bit an excessive amount of sriracha.

I’ve to say I used to be pleasantly shocked by how a lot I preferred this one. I used to be very hesitant to attempt it at first as a result of I am not an enormous fan of cheddar cheese and I positively desire to maintain my mac n’ cheese flavors removed from my ramen. However this dish is nice! The sriracha actually compliments the cheese, so neither one overpowers the opposite. I might be curious to attempt it once more with a distinct cheese taste.
Have you ever tried any viral ramen dishes? Let me know within the feedback under which one I ought to attempt subsequent!
