How to make Blackstone ramen
Cook ramen noodles according to the package directions but discard the seasoning packet, then drain. On a medium-high griddle (about 400°F), melt butter and briefly cook garlic and red pepper flakes, then stir in brown sugar and soy sauce to form a glaze. Toss noodles in the glaze, push them aside, scramble an egg on the other side at higher heat (about 450°F), then combine and serve topped with everything bagel seasoning.
Ingredients
- 1 package instant ramen noodles
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 egg, slightly beaten
- 1 tsp everything bagel seasoning
Directions
- Cook noodles per package instructions (discard seasoning packet) and drain.
- Preheat griddle to medium-high (~400°F) and melt butter.
- Add garlic and red pepper flakes; cook about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Stir in brown sugar and soy sauce.
- Toss noodles in the sauce, then push noodles to one side.
- Turn heat up to high (~450°F), scramble the beaten egg on the open side, then mix egg into noodles.
- Remove from heat and top with everything bagel seasoning.
How to serve it
Serve it hot right off the griddle; the recipe notes it’s best served fresh. It works as a single serving as written, but can be scaled up by multiplying ingredients.
How to store
The article says leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3–4 days, though it’s best fresh. Reheat on a pan/griddle to keep the noodles from getting too soft.
Tips to make it
- Reduce the red pepper flakes if sensitive to spice (the recipe calls this out).
- Make sure the sauce is hot when tossing the noodles so they coat evenly.
Variations
- Add vegetables like carrots, broccoli, or peppers.
- Use low-sodium soy sauce and a brown-sugar substitute, or swap butter for olive/avocado oil.
- Use other Asian noodles if ramen isn’t available.

Do you use the ramen seasoning packet?
