Kewpie Mayo Ramen

This is my go-to when I want something quick but more substantial than basic instant ramen. The mayo creates a creamy, rich broth that feels like you actually cooked something.

cook time:5 minutes
total time:10 minutes

Ingredients

Ingredients (~3 servings)

  • 3 servings instant ramen any brand with soup base packets
  • 3 packets instant ramen soup base included with the ramen
  • 2 Tbsp Japanese mayo Kewpie preferred, or regular mayo
  • 3 eggs
  • 3 garlic cloves finely minced or grated
  • ~7 cups water or follow package directions for 3 servings
  • 2 Tbsp green onions optional, finely chopped

Instructions

  • In each of 3 large serving bowls, whisk together minced garlic, mayo, raw egg, and soup base powder until combined.
  • Bring 7 cups water to a boil in a medium pot.
  • Add all 3 servings of ramen noodles and boil for 2 minutes until al dente.
  • Very slowly pour about half the hot noodle water into each bowl while whisking constantly to temper the egg mixture.
  • Divide remaining noodle water and noodles between the 3 bowls.
  • Mix until broth is creamy and well combined.
  • Garnish with green onions and serve immediately.

Notes

Tempering the egg mixture slowly prevents scrambling and creates a creamy broth.
