Brown Butter Ramen w/ Berries & Almonds

This recipe is what happens when I'm left alone with too much time to kill. It's a semi-sweet, "almost dessert" instant ramen. I'm curious to know if any one else on here has had or made any sweet ramen dishes.

You can find the original blog post and pictures here.

Brown Butter Ramen with Almonds & Berries

Ingredients

  • 1 Package of Instant Ramen
  • 3 Tablespoons of unsalted butter
  • 1 Tablespoon of Honey
  • Pinch of Salt
  • 2 Tablespoons Slivered Almonds
  • 1/4 Cup Dried Berries
  • Cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Toast the almonds over medium heat in a small frying pan until golden in color. It should take about five minutes, but your nose will also let you know when they’re done (it’ll smell like roasted nuts).

  2. Brown the butter. I like to start with a pan on low and gradually increase the heat to medium, while stirring constantly. First, the butter will start to foam as the water evaporates, then you'll start to see the color change and it emit a nice nutty flavor. Once it had a nice golden color, IMMEDIATELY take it off the heat and pour into a bowl. The difference between brown butter and burned butter is only a few seconds.

  3. Prepare the ramen noodles per the instructions on the package (don’t use the flavor packets).

  4. Drain the noodles and place back into the pan you used to boil them. While still hot, pour in the butter, pinch of salt, honey, and berries. Toss until well mixed, then place in a shallow bowl. Top with almonds and a light dusting of cinnamon.
