- Ramen of any variety
- Barbecue sauce
- Hot Sauce
- Cooking Spray
- Minced Garlic (the kind that comes in the jar)
- Brown Sugar
Set a pot of water on one burner and a frying pan on another. Prepare ramen in the pot using only half the seasoning packet. When it’s done, turn the heat off and let it sit in the broth.
Turn on the burner under the frying pan and give the pan a good coating of cooking spray. When I say ‘good’, I mean four or five passes with the spray. Alternatively, if you have liquid cooking oil, you should use that. I don’t have any, so I have to substitute PAM. Add a few shakes of hot sauce, however much you think you can handle, and the remaining seasoning from the ramen. If you have brown sugar, put a teaspoon or so in the pan. If you have that minced garlic stuff, put a bit (1/4 tsp.) in the pan and pour some of the oil from the jar in the mix. Move it all around a few times with the spatula so it doesn’t burn.
Strain ramen noodles, but leave them wet. Add them to the pan. Lots of sizzling, etc. Toss them around until they’re coated with the mix and start to become brown. You should let parts of it become crispy. When it’s done, turn off the heat and add enough barbecue sauce to lightly coat the whole mess. Stir it up in the frying pan, then slide it onto a plate. Mmmm.
Note: Chicken ramen is definitely the best, but I’m guessing pork ramen wouldn’t be too terrible if you like pork. The brown sugar and garlic (both *very* affordable and long lasting) are semi-optional. The recipe won’t taste good without them.

This has to be one the absolute best recipes I’ve tried. I have to make two or three packs cause everyone loves it, even my husband, who is not a ramen lover.
It tastes just as good with only half the flavour pack, and it’s good with every kind of ramen (well, americanized ramen)
I also fry up the noodles after the bbq is added, to carmelize it a little. Thank you for this great recipe.
i absolutely adore this recipe.
i use shrimp ramen, since i’m semi-vegetarian,
and it’s still delicious.
a word of advice if you’re going to try it:
be sure to fry the noodles long enough.
if you don’t, they stay kind of mushy.
That recipe looks absolutely delicious. I am owner of a site selling sauces and seasonings, and would love to use this recipe on my site. If you would be willing to let me re-publish it, please let me know. Please come see us at All Spiced Up! http://www.allspiceup.biz and see if you would be ok with it. Also, we may have some sauces or seasonings you could use in your recipes.
I posted the above note re. wanting to use this recipe on our website, but i mispelled the url. All Spiced Up! is the site, and http://www.allspicedup.biz is our url. please let us know if you are ok with us using the recipe, it looks absolutely awesome! Oh, and by the way, i keep having to exit and return, because i am having difficulty reading, therefore entering the correct security code. I understand why it is there, but it is even difficult for a human to read. LOL!
Oh, man. I had totally forgot about posting this recipe (almost three years ago now) and I thank you guys for having nice things to say about it! I was just telling some friends about my best recipe invention and remembered that I had posted to this site (which looked very different in 2003).
RamenMom: You’re right about carmelizing the barbecue sauce. The brown sugar carmelizes nicely, but the barbecue sauce is key. I discovered that about a year ago and it improves the recipe manyfold. I actually make this and bring it to parties sometimes and people started having really nice things to say about it after I revised it in that way.
Mitch: Of course you can republish the recipe! I’d be absolutely flattered if you did. I had no idea anyone else would actually like this recipe when I posted it and I’m really happy that people do!
Thanks, everyone!
