This Ten Minute Mayo Ramen is a quick and creamy twist on the classic instant ramen noodle dish. Combining a raw egg yolk, mayonnaise, and a touch of garlic, this recipe creates a rich, velvety sauce that coats the noodles perfectly, topped off with toasted sesame seeds and fresh green onions for added flavor and texture.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 packet instant ramen noodles
  • 1 raw egg yolk
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise (preferably Kewpie mayo)
  • 1 garlic clove, grated (optional)

Toppings

  • Toasted sesame seeds, for garnish
  • Thinly sliced green onions, for garnish
  • Chili oil, for drizzling (optional)

Instructions

  1. Boil the noodles: Bring a medium-sized pot with 2 cups of water to a boil. Once boiling, add your ramen noodles and cook according to the package instructions, approximately 3 minutes, until tender.
  2. Prepare the sauce: While the noodles cook, in a large deep bowl, combine the raw egg yolk, 1 tablespoon mayonnaise, the seasoning packet from the ramen, and the grated garlic clove if using. Whisk these ingredients well until smooth and fully combined.
  3. Mix with ramen water: Carefully ladle about 1/4 cup of the hot ramen cooking water into the mayonnaise mixture and whisk thoroughly to prevent clumps, creating a creamy sauce.
  4. Combine noodles and sauce: Add the cooked ramen noodles along with the remaining ramen water directly into the bowl with the sauce. Mix everything well until the noodles are fully coated in the creamy mixture.
  5. Add toppings and serve: Garnish the mayo ramen with toasted sesame seeds and thinly sliced green onions. Drizzle with chili oil if desired for a spicy kick. Serve immediately for best flavor.

Notes

  • Using Kewpie mayonnaise adds a richer umami flavor compared to regular mayonnaise.
  • The raw egg yolk adds creaminess but use fresh, high-quality eggs to ensure safety.
  • Adjust the amount of garlic or omit according to your taste preference.
  • Chili oil is optional but adds a nice spicy depth.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, reduce the amount of ramen water mixed in.
