- 1 large egg, beaten
- 4 ounce ground beef, shaped into a burger patty

Directions
- In a sauce pan, bring 1 ½ cups of water to a rolling boil. Cook the noodles for 1 minute, then remove from heat and drain noodles.
- In a small bowl, add the cooked ramen to the beaten egg and stir until the ramen is thoroughly coated in raw egg.
- Divide the egg-coated ramen into 2 portions, and place each half into ramekins or other patty-shaped containers.
- Cover the ramen with plastic wrap and weigh it down with a can of soup to compress into bun shape. Refrigerate for 15 minutes or more.
- Carefully remove the ramen "buns" from ramekins and cook over medium-high heat until the patties are dark golden brown on both sides. In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the burger patty until cooked through, about 3 minutes a side. Serve burger on the ramen bun and garnish with lettuce and tomato.
