Easy 5-min. Kewpie Mayo Ramen Hack
Description
Easy 5-min. Kewpie Mayo Ramen Hack uses standard instant ramen as a foundation and enriches it with mayonnaise, raw egg, and garlic stirred into the soup base powder. The method involves whisking these ingredients together, cooking the noodles to al dente, then slowly adding hot noodle water to the mixture to avoid fully cooking the egg prematurely. The ramen noodles and broth combine to form a creamy, flavored soup that benefits from the umami of Kewpie mayo and the depth of raw egg. It finishes with chopped green onions to add freshness and mild sharpness.
The creamy broth is smooth and lightly garlicky, unlike a traditional clear ramen soup. This approach transforms instant noodles into a more indulgent comfort food, ideal when you want something quick but with a richer mouthfeel. It can serve as a snack or light meal that satisfies an immediate craving for noodles with a unique twist.
Ingredients
- 1 erving instant ramen any brand you like with soup base
- 1 packet instant ramen soup base included with instant ramen
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise aka Kewpie mayo, or regular mayonnaise, Japanese style
- 1 egg
- 1 garlic finely minced or grated, clove
- 2.25 cups water or use the amount instructed on the instant ramen packet
- 1 tablespoon green onions finely chopped for garnishing (optional)
Instructions
- In a large serving bowl, whisk together minced garlic, kewpie mayo, raw egg and the instant ramen soup base powder.
- Then in a small pot, add suggested amount of water (or refer to the amount specified on the ramen packet if it calls for less), bring to a boil. Add instant ramen noodles and boil for 2 minutes or until al dente.
- Very slowly pour half of the piping hot noodle water into the serving bowl with the mayo egg mixture while mixing. Do not just pour all the noodle water into the bowl or it will fully cook the eggs.
- Then pour the rest of the noodle water and ramen noodles into the bowl. Mix the ramen and broth together. Garnish with green onions and enjoy!
