AIR FRYER RAMEN BUN BURGER FOR ONE

Air Fryer Ramen Bun Burger for One image

I ate a lot of instant ramen noodles as a kid and still enjoy them now on occasion. As an adult, I started experimenting with them to try different ways of eating them other than the package directions. This one isn't the most feasible but it was a lot of fun to make. The bun is seasoned and crunchy so it's like you get the burger, bun, and chips in every bite. I like to top mine with Sriracha mayo, red onions, and baby spinach but feel free to use your favorite toppings.

Ingredients

2 cups water
1 (3 ounce) package beef-flavored ramen noodles, seasoning packet reserved
1 small egg
cooking spray
4 ounces ground beef

Steps:

Pour water into a large saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Drop noodles in and boil for 3 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit for 2 minutes. Drain.
Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Meanwhile, whisk egg and 1/2 of the reserved seasoning packet together in a bowl. Gently stir in noodles until they are evenly coated. Divide noodles into 2 small round containers, which helps make more uniform buns.
Spray the basket of the air fryer with nonstick spray. Dump one portion of noodles into the basket. Flatten the noodle mixture with a spatula to form the bun. Cook for 4 minutes. Flip the bun over using a spatula and cook until desired brownness, about 4 minutes more. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining noodles.
Sprinkle remaining seasoning over the beef and form into a patty. Air fry for 4 minutes. Flip and cook for 4 minutes more. Sandwich the patty between the ramen buns.
