Ingredients
- 2 packages instant ramen noodles, without the spice packet
- 2 large eggs
- salt and pepper to taste
- ¾ pound 80-percent fat ground beef
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 3 tablespoon olive oil, divided
- 3 slices sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 ½ cup butterhead lettuce
- 3 thick slices of tomato
Directions
- Cook ramen according to directions on packet without adding the spice packet. Drain, rinse and allow to cool.
- Beat two eggs in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Stir cooled noodles into the eggs until evenly coated. Divide noodles into six burger-sized bowls or baking dishes. Cover and press until flat. Refrigerate until firm, for about 20 minutes.
- Combine beef, soy sauce, and sesame oil in a large bowl. Divide mixture into three equal patties
- Heat one tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully remove each ramen patty by flipping the bowls over and gently tapping until the ramen loosens.
- Fry each ramen patty in oil for about three minutes per side, or until crispy and golden brown. Transfer buns to a paper towel-lined plate
- Heat one tablespoon olive oil in the same skillet. Cook beef patties according to how you like it, about three to five minutes per side for medium-well. Place cheddar cheese slices on patties, cover, and continue to cook for one more minute, or until cheese is melted.
- Place burgers on ramen buns, top with lettuce and tomato slices, and serve.
