Waffling ramen breathes new life into an old standby. The dish retains the familiarity of the wavy instant noodles and takes on a new texture from the waffle iron, becoming at turns crispy and soft.
Why this recipe works:
- Waffling the ramen gives it a crispy texture with extra-browned spots.
- Adding an egg and replacing the seasoning packet with soy sauce, sesame seeds, and sesame oil adds protein to the meal and gives it a cleaner flavor.
Note: This is waffled ramen at its most basic. Like un-waffled ramen, it can be improved upon in a long list of delicious ways.
