Look, it's no secret that we love breakfast foods. We collected all our best breakfast recipes of the year<\/a>, which was powered by casseroles, breakfast breads and mini egg bakes. So when people started transforming humble ramen noodles into a hearty breakfast, we knew we had to learn more.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Ramen has always been a quick and easy lunch and dinner option, whether you're having spicy and brothy ramen, creamy ramen<\/a> or a different ramen recipe<\/a> altogether. But this breakfast ramen might be my favorite application yet.<\/p>\r\n
Bring a medium pot of well-salted water to a boil. Add dry ramen noodles, reduce heat, and simmer for 3 minutes or until cooked through. Strain, add the dry packet of seasoning to the noodles (if using), and stir well. Drizzle with olive oil to keep from sticking.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Score sausages on one side.<\/p>\r\n
In a large saute pan, heat some oil and add ramen noodles and sauteed greens, if using. Mix well, then add sausages, scored side down. Allow to cook until browned, then turn and move to the sides of the pan. Stir noodles again, then make a well in the middle of the pan. Add a drizzle of oil, and gently drop in the egg. Salt the egg, cover the pan, and cook until the whites of the egg are cooked through.<\/p>\r\n
Test the sausages to make sure they're fully cooked before removing from the heat.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Gently transfer the food into a shallow bowl. Top with scallions and sesame seeds and a drizzle of chili oil.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
If you're a breakfast bowl<\/a> kind of person, then this type of meal will be both familiar and delicious to you. It's one of my favorite ways to eat because you get to customize it to your liking and then it's all right there in one bowl.<\/p>\r\n
I used just half the powdered seasoning packet, and I won't use any more than that next time because it's such a strong flavor. You could add all sorts of vegetables, or swap out the sausages for pulled pork<\/a> or your favorite bacon<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n
