I definitely got swept up in the ramen trend. I try as many ramen restaurants as I possibly can, am willing to eat the piping hot soup during the hottest summer months, and even went as far as to stand in the ridiculously long line that results in a ramen burger.
A year ago, we thought the ramen burger was crazy. That was just the beginning. Thanks to that wildly amazing invention (which subs regular buns for ones made out of ramen noodles), there are now a bunch of even kookier ramen noodle hybrids on offer. You can pretty much name your favorite comfort food, search the web, and voilà, you’ll be able to find a version that subs in ramen noodles for some of the more typical ingredients. Ahead, check out some of the craziest (and crazy-delicious) ramen noodle snacks and dishes we could find.
Ramen Donuts
Forget yeast and cake doughnuts. Thanks to Culinary Bro-Down, you can make a bunch of different varieties using instant ramen noodles.
Ramac & Cheese
You might be used to tiny elbows and shells, but ramen noodles work just as well for a crispy homemade take on boxed mac ‘n’ cheese.
Ramen Chocolate
We love the sweet and savory combo, but ramen, onion, garlic, and soy sauce flavors mixed with chocolate is slightly terrifying.
Crunchy Ramen Snack Mix
If you ate uncooked instant ramen out of the packaging with the flavoring sprinkled on top as a kid, then you’ll love this ramen snack mix idea.
Ramen Brownies With Whiskey Caramel
Crispy and sweet all at the same time, these brownies will satisfy chocolate and ramen lovers alike.
Ramen Grilled Cheese With Kimchi
Who needs bread when you’re got ramen? Cooked noodles actually make the perfect vessel for ooey-gooey melted cheese.
Ramen Grilled Cheese
What’s better than a ramen noodle grilled cheese? A ramen noodle grilled cheese with bacon, of course!
Ramen Hoagie Roll
Not only does this ramen hoagie look exactly like a classic hoagie, it tastes like one, too. The noodles even get toasted like your typical bread roll.
Ramen Crispy Treats
Our only question is why everyone isn’t already making ramen crispy treats?!
Ramen Chicken Nuggets
Instead of your typical breading, Oh, Bite It swaps out bread crumbs for crushed up ramen noodles. Brilliant.
Ramen Crust Pizza
A crispy, crunchy crust is the key to the perfect pizza anyway, this one is just slightly more squiggly.
Ramen Poutine
Of all the weird ways you can sub ramen into a classic recipe, ramen fries with gravy is the one we want to try the most.
Ramen Waffle Sandwich
Yes, you can put ramen noodles in your waffle iron. Yes, you should try it immediately and turn the results into a breakfast sandwich.
Ramen Taco
Sure a ramen taco might be kind of unwieldy to eat, but after the bacon weave taco, it was only a matter of time.
Ramen Burger
And who could forget the hybrid that spurred all these other crazy ramen recipes — Keizo Shimamoto’s ramen burger.
Ramenrrito
Sadly, the New York restaurant behind the internet famous Ramenrrito is now closed. But you can always recreate it by adding cooked ramen noodles to homemade burritos!
