TikTok Ramen

You’ve probably seen the videos in your feed. TikTok Ramen is a social media star, and it’s no wonder: ramen is cheap, versatile, and, OH, SO YUMMY!

When I find myself looking for an easy weekend dinner to throw together or even a quick lunch before getting back to work, ramen’s kind of a no-brainer.

While you might consider ramen to be a Japanese dish, it’s believed to have originated in China and was brought to Japan in the mid-1800s. There, it was sold by street-food merchants, and today, it’s so popular it’s gone viral – with a few social media tweaks, of course!

This TikTok Ramen meal is one of those ways to take a super inexpensive packet of already incredible ramen noodles and bring it NEXT LEVEL, thanks to all the amazing TikTok additions.

Q & A

No problem, just use rice noodles in place of the ramen and change the soy sauce to Tamari.

Don’t sweat; any Asian noodles will do as a substitutio. Just remember not to overcook them, it’s better to be slightly al dente.

For the butter, try substituting ghee, olive oil, or avocado oil. For the sugar, you can use a low-calorie alternative like stevia or even agave or chicory. To cut some of the sodium, try using Tamari or coconut aminos.

Absolutely, I would suggest substituting sesame oil for the butter, but any vegetable oil will work. As for the egg, a vegetable-based based replacer (such as JUST Egg) works great too, or just leave it out altogether.
