5-Minute Creamy Ramen Hack

Recipe by Jeremy on InstagramAdded 9 November 2026.

5 minutes to prep, 5 to cook. A lightning‑fast creamy ramen upgrade that turns any instant pack into a restaurant‑quality bowl. The sauce blends mayo, soy, garlic, and sesame oil for a rich, slightly spicy flavor, while a soft‑boiled jammy egg and crispy gyoza add texture and depth.

Free. No account needed.

Method

  1. Cook the ramen according to the package instructions, reserving 1½ cups of the hot noodle water.

  2. For the jammy egg, place an egg in boiling water and cook for exactly 6 minutes and 45 seconds, then transfer to an ice bath for 3 minutes.

  3. In a bowl, combine the ramen seasoning packet, spicy sauce packet (if using), Kewpie mayo, egg yolk, soy sauce, minced garlic, and sesame oil. Whisk until smooth, then add 1½ cups of the reserved hot noodle water.

  4. Add the cooked noodles to the bowl and toss everything together. Add more noodle water if needed, then top with the jammy egg, gyoza, sliced green onions, and chili crisp.
