Step 1: Get the Noodles GoingBoil ramen noodles for 2–3 minutes, no seasoning packet, just clean, pure noodles. Drain them, but keep a splash of starchy water aside. That’s your secret to sauce that sticks. Step 2: Build the BaseIn a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and red pepper flakes. Stir until the garlic softens and fills the air with that familiar, comforting aroma about 30 seconds. Step 3: Sweet Meets SaltyPour in soy sauce and sprinkle in brown sugar. The mix will bubble and turn syrupy in seconds. That’s your cue to add the noodles. Step 4: Coat and TossUse tongs to swirl the noodles through the glossy sauce until every strand shines. If it thickens too quickly, loosen with a bit of the saved water. Step 5: The Creamy TwistPush noodles to one side, crack the egg in, and stir quickly. The egg cooks into a silky, golden coating like a light blanket of flavor. Step 6: Finish StrongTurn off the heat. Add a squeeze of lime, toss again, and top with sesame seeds and green onions.
