Description

Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 package of instant ramen
- 3 cups of water or broth
- 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise
- 1 clove of garlic, crushed or grated
- 1 large egg yolk
Optional Garnishes
- Soft boiled egg
- Green onions, thinly sliced
- Chili oil
Instructions
- Boil the liquid: Bring 3 cups of water or broth to a boil in a small saucepan to prepare the base for the ramen noodles.
- Prepare the creamy sauce: While waiting for the water to boil, whisk together 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise, the crushed or grated garlic clove, and the large egg yolk in a large soup bowl; set this aside for later to create the creamy sauce.
- Cook the noodles: Once the water reaches a boil, add the ramen noodles along with the seasoning packet if desired. Boil the noodles for 2 minutes until just tender, then remove the saucepan from heat to avoid overcooking.
- Combine sauce and broth: Ladle about 1 cup of the hot ramen broth into the bowl containing the mayo mixture. Whisk thoroughly to combine and create a smooth, creamy sauce.
- Finish the ramen: Add the remaining noodles and broth into the bowl with the creamy mixture, mixing gently to combine evenly.
- Garnish and serve: Optionally, top your creamy mayo ramen with a soft boiled egg, thinly sliced green onions, and a drizzle of chili oil for added flavor and presentation.
Notes
- You can use broth instead of water for a richer flavor.
- Adjust the amount of chili oil based on your heat preference.
- Soft boiled egg adds extra creaminess and protein but can be omitted.
- Use fresh garlic to maximize flavor in the creamy sauce.
- Cook noodles just until tender to avoid mushy texture.
