Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
