Super Easy!
My quick curry ramen instant noodles are so easy to whip up! In a small pot mix together kewpie mayo (this gives it the creaminess), minced garlic, instant ramen seasoning and dried flakes into a paste.
Then pour cold water into the pot and mix until the paste has dissolved. Next bring that to a boil, add your block of Japanese curry mix while stirring to dissolve. Once dissolved, boil your ramen noodles for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with green onions and enjoy!
What You’ll Need

- Spicy Soup-Based Instant Ramen with instant seasoning & dried vegetable flakes (optional)
- Japanese curry block or powder (mild)
- Garlic
- Japanese Mayo
- Green onions
- Water
Cooking Tips
Below are tips on making the best instant curry ramen noodles:
Create paste first
To avoid clumps of kewpie mayo floating in your curry broth, mix it with your garlic, instant ramen seasoning and dried vegetable flakes in the pot. Then pour COLD water into it and mix again until that paste has dissolved.
Use Japanese or Korean Curry
This is important as Japanese or Korean curry contains fewer spices making it less spicy and pungent. It also has a slightly different flavour profile from Indian curry – it almost tastes slightly sweeter.
I’m using the Japanese brand called “Golden Curry”, but your local Asian grocer may carry other Japanese or Korean brands that will work too! Another brand I like is called “Vermont Curry” or “Ottogi” curry mix powder.
Do not overcook your ramen
I always cook my ramen for less than the time specified on the ramen packet. Usually 2-3 minutes or until Al-dente. Don’t forget the ramen is going to be sitting and cooking in your broth as you consume it.
