**Prepare the Ramen Patties:** Cook the ramen noodles according to package directions (without the seasoning packet). Drain well and let cool slightly.
In a bowl, combine the cooked ramen noodles with the beaten eggs. Mix thoroughly to ensure the noodles are coated. This will help them bind together.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Divide the ramen mixture into 4 equal portions and form them into patties. Fry for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Set aside.
**Prepare the Sambal Seafood Bisque:** In a large pot, heat the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the shallots, garlic, and ginger and sautรฉ for 2-3 minutes, or until fragrant. The aroma should be savory and slightly spicy.
Add the Sambal Oelek and tomato paste and cook for 1 minute more, stirring constantly to prevent burning. The mixture should deepen in color and become more fragrant.
Add the prawns and squid to the pot and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque. Add the mussels and stir to combine.
Pour in the coconut milk and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat and cook for 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. The bisque should thicken slightly.
Season with fish sauce and sugar. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. For a smoother bisque, you can use an immersion blender to blend the soup to your desired consistency (optional).
Stir in the lime juice just before serving. The lime will add a bright tanginess that balances the richness of the coconut milk and seafood.
**Assemble the Burgers:** Divide the Roti John slices into sets of two (top and bottom bun). Place a ramen patty on the bottom slice, top with a generous ladle of Sambal Seafood Bisque, and garnish with chopped cilantro. Cover with the top slice of Roti John.
Serve immediately and enjoy the explosion of flavors! The crispy ramen patty, the soft Roti John, and the creamy, spicy bisque create a truly unique eating experience.

Chef tip 1: For extra flavor, toast the Roti John slices lightly before assembling the burgers. This will add a nice crispy texture.
Chef tip 2: If you don't have access to Roti John, you can use slices of crusty bread or even mantou buns as a substitute.
