Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon kewpie mayo
- 1 clove garlic, grated
- 1 package (3 to 4 ounces) instant ramen noodles with seasoning packet
Optional Toppings
- 1 chopped green onion
- Sprinkle of sesame seeds
Instructions
- Prepare the sauce mixture: In a bowl, thoroughly mix the egg, kewpie mayo, grated garlic, and the seasoning packet from the instant ramen to create a creamy, flavorful sauce base.
- Cook the ramen noodles: Boil the ramen noodles according to the package instructions, usually around 3 to 5 minutes until tender.
- Combine noodles and sauce: Drain the noodles, reserving some cooking water, and pour both noodles and cooking water into the bowl with the egg-mayo mixture. Stir quickly and thoroughly to evenly coat the noodles with the creamy sauce, allowing the residual heat to lightly cook the egg.
- Add toppings (optional): Garnish with chopped green onions and sprinkle sesame seeds on top for added texture and flavor before serving.
Notes
- Using the reserved hot noodle water helps gently cook the egg while mixing, creating a rich, creamy texture without scrambling.
- Adjust the amount of mayo to taste for creaminess.
- Use fresh garlic for best flavor, but garlic powder can be substituted if needed.
- Add chili flakes or sriracha for a spicy kick.
- This recipe serves one but can be easily scaled up for more servings.
