How to Make a Ramen Burger

First, cook your ramen (without the seasoning packet). Strain, then stir in the egg. Divide the ramen into two halves, and place in ramekins or other round containers to mold the ramen into a round shape. Place a smaller, heavier bowl over the ramen to press it into shape. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.

Heat oil in a pan, and fry both ramen patties until brown on one side and cooked on the other. Set aside, ready for the hamburger, with a bit of arugula on one side.

Place cooked hamburger patty on top of the bun with the arugula, and top with scallions (or cheese if you like). Carefully place entire burger into wax paper to hold while you eat.
