Why This Delicious Blackstone Ramen Is So Popular

There are a few reasons this ramen recipe has gone viral:

• It’s fast. Total cook time? Under 10 minutes.
• It’s full of flavor. A garlicky, soy-based sauce coats the noodles in a rich umami glaze.
• It’s cooked on the griddle. Which adds a smoky sear you just can’t get from boiling noodles.
• It’s adaptable. Toss in eggs, sausage, ground beef, or veggies—whatever you have.

Plus, the Blackstone griddle adds an element of fun, especially if you’re cooking outdoors or at a campsite. It’s a family-friendly crowd-pleaser, like these Easy Camping Meals on Blackstone, and a great option for anyone looking to jazz up dinner without spending a lot of time.

Here’s what you’ll need to make Delicious Blackstone Ramen Noodles:

• 2 packs instant ramen noodles (any flavor) – discard the seasoning packets
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon garlic (minced)
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional for extra flavor)
• 1 egg (optional, scrambled or fried)
• 1 green onion, chopped (for garnish)
• Sesame seeds (optional garnish)
• Crushed red pepper or sriracha (optional for heat)

Optional add-ins:

For a full Blackstone dinner, you can pair this with something like Garlic Butter Shrimp and Mashed Potatoes or keep it vegetarian with Creamy Vegetable Pasta.

Equipment Checklist for Blackstone Cooking

Before firing up the griddle, make sure you have:

• Blackstone griddle or flat-top cooktop
• Griddle spatulas or tongs
• Small bowl for mixing the sauce
• Pot for pre-cooking noodles
• Oil squirt bottle (optional)
• Paper towels for cleanup

Having the right tools makes this just as fun and easy as preparing 20-Minute Chorizo Tacos.

How to Make Blackstone Ramen Noodles (Step-by-Step Instructions)

Step 1: Boil the ramen
Cook the ramen noodles in boiling water (without the flavor packet) for just 2 minutes. You want them slightly underdone. Drain and set aside.

Step 2: Preheat your Blackstone griddle
Turn the heat to medium. Add a bit of oil or butter to one side of the griddle.

Step 3: Make the sauce
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and sesame oil.

Step 4: Cook the garlic and protein (if using)
Add minced garlic to the griddle and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. If you’re adding cooked sausage, ground beef, or tofu, toss that in now and heat through.

Step 5: Add the noodles
Place the drained noodles onto the griddle. Toss them with butter and your sauce mixture. Use your spatula to mix everything together so the noodles are coated evenly.

Step 6: Add the egg
If adding an egg, crack it directly on the griddle, scramble it, and then mix into the noodles. For a runny yolk, fry the egg separately and serve it on top.

Step 7: Garnish and serve
Top with green onions, sesame seeds, and a drizzle of sriracha or chili oil if you like it spicy.

These noodles are incredibly satisfying on their own or paired with a light side like Cucumber Shrimp Salad.

Flavor Tips for Next-Level Blackstone Noodles

• Use a flavored oil like garlic chili oil or ginger-infused oil for added depth.
• Sear some veggies on the griddle before adding the noodles.
• Top with a fried egg for that perfect, Instagrammable finish.
• Want extra crunch? Add crushed peanuts or crispy shallots.
• Try spicy Korean gochujang or a spoon of miso paste in your sauce for bold flavor.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Overcooking the noodles before adding to the griddle — they’ll turn mushy.
• Too much sauce makes the noodles soggy and overwhelms the flavor.
• Burning the garlic — it cooks fast, so keep an eye on it.
• Not tossing evenly — make sure the noodles and sauce are well combined.
• Skimping on butter or oil — it helps prevent sticking and adds richness.

Avoiding these mistakes helps your ramen turn out perfect every single time.

Variations and Add-Ins

Looking to make it heartier? Try one of these tasty options:

• Add cooked ground beef or Blackstone sausage
• Stir in baby spinach or cabbage
• Use sweet soy sauce for a sweeter glaze
• Try it with egg noodles or udon instead of ramen
• Mix in leftover vegetables or grilled corn

Serving and Plating Suggestions

You can serve this dish in:

• A bowl topped with scallions, sesame seeds, and chili flakes
• A takeout-style paper container for a fun vibe
• A tortilla wrap with shredded lettuce for a ramen burrito
• As a side dish for grilled chicken or steak

Or serve it alongside a cool, tangy dip like this Cranberry Cream Cheese Dip for contrast.

How to Store and Reheat Leftovers

Blackstone ramen holds up surprisingly well, making it a solid meal prep or camping leftover option.

To store:
Transfer cooled leftovers to an airtight container. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days.

To reheat:
Reheat on the Blackstone over medium heat with a splash of water or oil. Or microwave in short bursts, stirring between intervals.

These noodles also taste great cold, like a sesame noodle salad!

Perfect Pairings: What to Eat with Blackstone Ramen Noodles

Ramen is delicious on its own, but even better with sides:

• Honey Glazed Carrots and Green Beans
• Beet Salad with Arugula
• Avocado Feta Dip with chips
• Strawberry Cream Soda for a sweet drink pairing
