Garlic Butter Ramen Noodles 🍜🧄🧈 Fast, Savory, and Utterly Addictive With Golden Garlic Butter and Umami-Packed Sauce in Every Bite

This is late-night comfort food with big flavor — ramen noodles tossed in garlicky butter, soy, and a dash of chili, ready in under 10 minutes. It’s a blank canvas too: top it with a jammy egg, leftover protein, or sautéed greens and call it dinner.

Cheap, fast, and suspiciously craveable.

Ingredients (Serves 1–2)

Base noodles

• 1 (3 oz) pack instant ramen noodles, any flavor (discard seasoning packet)
• Water for boiling

Garlic butter sauce

• 1½ tbsp unsalted butter
• 2–3 cloves garlic, finely minced
• 1 tsp soy sauce
• ½ tsp oyster sauce or hoisin (optional, for depth)
• ¼ tsp sesame oil (optional)
• Pinch of chili flakes or sriracha (to taste)

Optional toppings

• Soft-boiled egg
• Sliced scallions or chives
• Toasted sesame seeds
• Leftover chicken, shrimp, or tofu
• Sautéed spinach, mushrooms, or kimchi

Instructions

Step 1: Cook the ramen
Boil noodles in water per package instructions (usually 2–3 minutes). Drain and set aside. Do not overcook — they should stay springy.

Step 2: Make the garlic butter sauce
In a skillet or saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add garlic and cook 1–2 minutes until soft and fragrant (not browned). Stir in soy sauce, optional oyster sauce, and chili.

Step 3: Toss the noodles
Add cooked noodles to the skillet and toss to coat evenly in the garlic butter sauce. Add a splash of water if needed to loosen.

Step 4: Plate and top
Transfer to a bowl. Top with egg, scallions, sesame seeds, or any extras you like.

Flavor Variations

• Add gochujang or chili crisp for Korean heat
• Use miso paste instead of soy for deeper umami
• Stir in Parmesan for a spicy East-West mashup
• Toss with spinach or bok choy for balance
• Crumble bacon on top for savory crunch

Pro Tips

• Cook garlic low and slow — it should sizzle gently, not fry
• Keep noodles slightly undercooked before tossing — they’ll finish in the pan
• Use a nonstick or carbon steel pan for easy coating
• Make extra sauce and store it — it’s good on rice, veggies, or dumplings

Final Thoughts

Garlic Butter Ramen Noodles are the shortcut to weeknight satisfaction — buttery, salty, spicy, and slurp-worthy with ingredients you probably already have. Cheap never tasted this slick.

Boil it. Sizzle it. Slurp it hot. 🍜🧄🧈🔥
