Preparation

Step 1

1. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil, add the noodles and cook for about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and drain the noodles.
2. In a small bowl, whisk the egg and ½ packet of ramen seasoning. (Use the other half later to season the burger meat.) Add the cooked noodles and mix until well-coated.
3. Divide the ramen mixture in two, and press each portion into a round ramekin. Cover both ramekins with plastic wrap, and place weights (like cans of soup) on top. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
4. Remove the noodles from the ramekins. Heat 1 tbsp. vegetable oil in a large pan, and cook the “buns” over medium-high until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove from the heat, and pile high with your favorite burger patty and toppings.
