The Picky Eater Test

I’ll admit, I was a little hesitant to serve my “breakfast ramen” idea to my nephew, a dedicated fan of plain pasta and butter. I watched him poke at the bowl with his fork before taking a tentative bite. Then another. Soon, the only sound was the happy slurping of noodles. “This is way better than my cereal,” he declared, and I knew this recipe was a true winner. It has a universal, comforting appeal that wins over even the most skeptical of eaters.

What Makes It Special

This Sausage and Egg Breakfast Ramen isn’t your average bowl of noodles. Its charm lies in a few key elements:

Fortune Yakisoba Noodles: These pre-cooked noodles have a wonderful springy texture and come with their own flavorful seasoning packet, building a fantastic foundation.
Savory Turkey Sausage: Using turkey breakfast sausage provides a leaner, yet still deeply savory and herby flavor that pairs perfectly with the eggs.
The Umami Egg Scramble: Whisking a teaspoon of the hot and spicy seasoning packet directly into the eggs before they cook infuses them with a profound, savory depth from the inside out.
A Splash of Water: This simple step is the secret to perfect noodles. It loosens them up and allows them to steam and absorb the seasoning, making them tender and cohesive.

Making It Happen: Your Breakfast Ramen Journey

Let’s create your new favorite morning ritual. Start by gently heating your yakisoba noodles right in their package in the microwave. This loosens them up and makes them ready for their skillet debut. While they warm, crack your eggs into a bowl. This is where the first bit of magic happens: whisk them with the soy sauce, sesame oil, and that crucial teaspoon of the hot and spicy seasoning. This step ensures every bite of egg is packed with flavor.

Next, place a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Once it’s hot, swirl in a tablespoon of olive oil and add your noodles and diced turkey sausage. The goal here is to get a little color and warmth on everything, stirring until the sausage is nicely browned. Now, pour in the quarter cup of water and another teaspoon of the seasoning. You’ll hear a satisfying sizzle as the noodles start to drink up the moisture and flavor. Reduce the heat to medium-high and let it cook until most of the liquid is absorbed.

Now, the grand finale. Push the noodle and sausage mixture to one side of the pan. Add the remaining bit of olive oil to the empty space and pour in your seasoned egg mixture. Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about a minute and a half, until the bottom is set. Gently flip them over with a spatula to cook the other side for another minute. Finally, chop the cooked egg into ribbons and stir everything—eggs, noodles, and sausage—together in the pan until it’s one harmonious, beautiful mess. Cook for another minute until the eggs are cooked to your liking.

Divide the glorious mixture between two bowls and finish with a vibrant sprinkle of fresh green onions.

You Must Know Tips

Don’t Skip the Microwave. Microwaving the noodles in their package is essential for separating them and ensuring they don’t break apart in the skillet.
Prep Your Mise en Place. With a recipe this fast, have your sausage diced, eggs whisked, and green onions sliced before you even turn on the stove.
Control the Heat. The hot and spicy seasoning packet can be potent. Start with the recommended amount and add more at the end if you desire more fire.
Let the Eggs Set. Allowing the eggs to cook for a full 90 seconds before stirring gives you lovely, defined ribbons instead of a crumbled scramble.

Serving It Right

This Sausage and Egg Breakfast Ramen is a complete meal in a bowl, but a simple side of sliced fresh fruit or a small, crisp green salad provides a lovely, refreshing contrast. For a drink pairing, a cup of robust black coffee or earthy green tea cuts through the richness beautifully.

Make It Different

This recipe is a canvas for your cravings.

Protein Swap: Substitute the turkey sausage with pork sausage, crumbled bacon, or even diced ham.
Vegetable Boost: Stir in a handful of fresh spinach right at the end, or add sautéed mushrooms and bell peppers with the sausage.
Spice Level: For extra heat, add a drizzle of sriracha or chili crisp at the end. For a milder version, use only half the seasoning packet.
Gluten-Free: Use tamari instead of soy sauce and find certified gluten-free noodles.

Storing and Reheating Your Leftovers

While best enjoyed immediately, leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The easiest way to reheat is in the microwave, splashing a teaspoon of water over the noodles to keep them from drying out. You can also reheat gently in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, stirring frequently.

Success Tips for the Perfect Bowl

Use a good nonstick skillet to make the cooking and cleanup process effortless.
If your skillet is small, it’s easier to remove the noodle mixture entirely before cooking the eggs, then add it back in.
Taste before serving! You can always add an extra pinch of the seasoning mix or a dash of soy sauce to suit your palate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use regular, dry ramen bricks instead of yakisoba?
Yes, you can! Cook the dry ramen bricks according to package directions (discarding the flavor packet or using it sparingly, as it’s often very salty), drain, and then use them in the recipe from the stir-fry step.

What can I use if I can’t find the Fortune Yakisoba brand?
Any brand of pre-cooked, seasoned Asian noodles will work. Alternatively, fresh or dried ramen or udon noodles, cooked al dente, are a great substitute.

Is the sesame oil really necessary?
Yes, for that authentic, nutty aroma. It provides a foundational flavor that soy sauce and olive oil can’t replicate.

My eggs got a little overcooked and crumbly. What happened?
You likely stirred them too soon or too vigorously. Let them set fully on the first side to create a cohesive “omelet” that you can then flip and slice into ribbons.

Can I make this vegetarian?
Absolutely! Omit the sausage and use a plant-based alternative or add extra veggies like mushrooms and tofu for a hearty vegetarian version.

Ingredients

1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

4 large eggs
1 teaspoon low sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame seed oil
1/2 cup diced turkey breakfast sausage
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions

Instructions

Remove the noodles from the outer package. Pierce the inner noodle package and microwave on high for 1 minute.

Heat a large nonstick skillet over high heat.
Swirl 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the hot pan. Add the microwaved noodles and diced sausage. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, until the sausage is browned and the noodles are heated through.
Add the water and 1 teaspoon of the hot and spicy seasoning packet. Reduce heat to medium-high. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the water is almost completely absorbed into the noodles.

Add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil to the empty side of the pan. Pour the egg mixture into this space.
Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for about 1 1/2 minutes, until the bottom is set. Use a rubber spatula to carefully flip the egg sheet over. Cook for an additional 1 minute.
Using the spatula, chop the cooked egg into ribbons and then stir everything in the pan—eggs, noodles, and sausage—together. Continue cooking for 1-2 more minutes, until the eggs are cooked to your desired doneness.
Divide evenly between two bowls and garnish with sliced green onions. Serve immediately.
