Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1Add garlic and egg yolk
    A spoonful of minced garlic held over a pot next to a separated egg yolk.

    Place one spoonful of minced garlic and one raw egg yolk directly into the bottom of an empty cooking pot.

    Tip: Ensure the pot is clean and dry before adding the base seasonings.
  2. 2Add instant noodle seasoning
    Instant noodle seasoning powder poured into the pot next to the egg yolk and garlic.

    Empty one full packet of instant noodle seasoning powder directly into the pot alongside the egg yolk and minced garlic.

    Tip: The seasoning powder provides the core savory and umami flavor base for the ramen broth.
  3. 3Add mayonnaise
    Mayonnaise being squeezed from a bottle into the seasoning mixture inside the pot.

    Squeeze a generous amount of mayonnaise from a bottle directly into the pot with the egg yolk, minced garlic, and seasoning powder.

    Tip: Mayonnaise adds richness and mimics the creamy texture of authentic pork bone broth.
  4. 4Mix the seasoning base
    All seasoning ingredients mixed together into a smooth paste inside the cooking pot.

    Thoroughly stir the egg yolk, minced garlic, seasoning powder, and mayonnaise together in the pot until a smooth, uniform paste forms.

    Tip: Mix well to ensure the mayonnaise emulsifies smoothly with the egg yolk and seasonings.
  5. 5Scoop hot noodle broth
    A ladle filled with hot broth scooped from a boiling pot of noodles.

    Use a ladle to scoop hot boiling water and broth from the separate noodle-boiling pot.

    Tip: Use hot broth so it tempers the egg yolk rather than cooking it too fast into scrambled bits.
  6. 6Combine broth with noodles
    A rich, creamy broth mixture being stirred inside the cooking pot.

    Pour the newly created creamy seasoned broth mixture back into the main pot containing the boiling noodles, stirring to combine everything into a rich soup.

    Tip: Mix gently to distribute the creamy pork-bone style base evenly throughout the noodles.
