Ingredients

Ramen noodles

2 packages, cooked

Ground beef

1 pound

Soy sauce

2 tablespoons

Sesame oil

1 tablespoon

Garlic powder

1 teaspoon

Salt

1/2 teaspoon

Black pepper

1/2 teaspoon

Vegetable oil

2 tablespoons (for frying)

Ketchup

2 tablespoons

Mayonnaise

2 tablespoons

Lettuce

4 leaves, washed and dried

Instructions

1. Cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop cooking.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked ramen noodles with the seasoning packets from the ramen packages. Mix well.
3. Divide the noodle mixture into 4 equal portions. Press each portion into a round mold or small bowl to form the bun shape. Refrigerate for 10 minutes to firm up.
4. In another bowl, combine the ground beef, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined and form into 2 equal patties.
5. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the beef patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired doneness.
6. Carefully remove the ramen buns from the refrigerator and take them out of the molds or bowls.
7. In the same skillet, toast the ramen buns for about 2 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
8. To prepare the sauce, mix together the ketchup and mayonnaise in a small bowl. Adjust to taste.
9. Assemble the burger by placing a ramen bun on the bottom, topping it with a beef patty, lettuce, tomato, onion, and a dollop of the sauce. Finish with another ramen bun on top.
10. Serve the Ramen Burger immediately and enjoy the delightful crunch and savory goodness!
