    Kewpie Mayo Ramen Hack

    Kewpie Mayo Ramen Hack. An odd but delicious instant ramen recipe that is easy, simple and very creamy. It only requires instant ramen, the seasoning packet, egg, kewpie mayo, minced garlic and water. Ready in just 10 minutes and divine.

    You can use any instant ramen of your choice but I’m using the spicy kind. It’s become a sensation all around the world through social media apps like TikTok and I’m going to show you how to make ramen with mayonnaise.

    Best instant ramen hack in my opinion!

    Now there are quite a few instant ramen hacks online but I think this is the best one so far. I’ve tried a few and they’re alright but this elevates the broth and ramen in a luxurious way. And I think it’s because the broth looks creamy like tonkatsu ramen. But that’s just my opinion!

    Kewpie Mayo Ramen Hack

    Where does it come from?

    This Japanese mayo ramen hack comes from Japan and has spread through TikTok and social media. The original recipe calls for Sappora Ichiban branded ramen (original flavour). But you can of course use any instant ramen you have on hand like I am.

    Trending Ramen Hack

    This TikTok egg and mayo ramen hack is so popular for good reason and although it may seem strange to mix mayo and a raw egg into your ramen, don’t knock it until you’ve tried it! The mayo and the raw egg whisked into the hot ramen water creates a smooth creamy flavourful broth. The best part is that it’s so easy and simple.

    Easy to make!

    For this kewpie mayo ramen recipe, you are basically adding raw egg, kewpie mayo, grated or minced garlic, ramen instant seasoning to a bowl and mixing it. Then boil your ramen noodles according to the packet with the specified amount of water (I used 550 ml water). 

    Next you’ll mix half of that hot starchy ramen water into the mayo egg mixture until it’s well combined. Lastly you can pour those cooked ramen noodles and the rest of the ramen water into your bowl to enjoy. Feel free to add scallions or any other toppings to enjoy!

    Tips for making this Instant Ramen Hack

    Below are tips on how to make this kewpie ramen hack:

    • I suggest using a simple instant ramen pack that contained dried instant seasoning that you already enjoy. I recommend a spicy one but if you can’t tolerate spice, use what you have!
    • Kewpie Mayo is key to this recipe. You can use normal mayo but kewpie mayo is eggier and more creamier.
    • Make sure to grate your garlic or use the minced kind. This makes a big difference thanks to the texture as it allows for the garlic flavour to come out more.
    • Boil your instant ramen for 2 minutes and no more for springy chewy noodles.
    • Pre-mix your mayo raw egg mixture before you pour in that hot ramen water. That way your broth will be more evenly mixed.
    • Only pour half of the ramen water into the mayo egg mixture first before pouring in the rest of the ramen noodles and water. You only need this much to cook the egg.
    • Garnish away! Feel free to add scallions or another poached egg or whatever you like! That’s the best part about ramen.

    FAQ

    Below are frequently asked questions about this kewpie mayo ramen hack:

    Which instant ramen should I use?

    I say use an instant ramen that contained dried instant seasoning powder and one that you already enjoy. The original recipe calls for Sapporo Ichiban branded ramen but I am using mild Jin Ramen and it was DELICIOUS!

    Do I have to use kewpie mayo?

    No you don’t have to but it’s recommended as the original recipe calls for it. You may use normal mayo but you may not get the exact same results.

    Can I skip the raw egg?

    I haven’t personally tried skipping it but if you really can’t tolerate that then try it out and let me know. I think the raw egg just makes the broth more ‘creamier’ and gives it a more eggier taste.

    Can I skip the raw garlic?

    The garlic gives this ramen a very flavourful taste. I would not recommend skipping it unless you’re allergic.

    What does adding an egg to ramen do?

    It gives the ramen a very smooth, creamy and eggier taste.

    Can you put Japanese mayo in ramen?

    Yes! This is the basis of this ramen hack.

    What is the difference between Kewpie and regular mayo?

    Kewpie mayo is more creamier, more eggy in taste and it's only made of egg yolks unlike non-Kewpie mayo.

    How do you make luxurious ramen?

    Yes this recipe teaches you how to make your ramen luxurious and if you scroll down you can learn how to do it!

    Should Kewpie mayo be refrigerated?

    Yes.

        It was very good and rich. If you have black garlic on hand, use it in place of the regular garlic. It won't disappoint.

      I just made 2 bowls. I learned quickly that properly tempering the boiling water into the mayo mixture was the secret to a smooth finish vs curdling. Dumping half the pot of boiling water in causes curdling. For the 2nd bowl I very slowly added it in bit by bit and that made a difference. Overall, this is a very good (and unhealthy lol) recipe. Not sure what I was expecting, but I wasn't disappointed. I used Black Shin Ramen, which comes with a beef broth packet in addition to the seasoning packet, so it's already creamy. This just made it even creamier. The grated garlic definitely helps elevate it. Try it at least once! -Note to author, your write-up says you used 550ml of water and your recipe says 500ml. Idk if that was intentional, but I think I would've preferred 550ml for mine! I followed the recipe as written, but will try 550ml and add a teeny drop of sesame oil next time. I made ramen eggs and added veggies and herbs. It was tasty! 🤌🏼

        Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the note. As mentioned in the write up, it depends on how much water your ramen packet calls for. Mine called for 550 ml but as an estimate for most recipes I put 500 ml.

      The noodles look so yummy!
      I had recently bought a bag of ramen and want to try your recipe. However, it does not come with the seasonings.
      What can we sub the instant ramen seasoning with?
      Look forward to your suggestions. Thanks

        Hi there, thanks so much! Unfortunately with this hack, the instant ramen seasoning is crucial to the overall taste. Instant ramen seasoning consists of a blend of spices & ingredients that it may present a challenge to mimic it exactly. However, if you're not able to find a spicy soup based ramen, try experimenting with a beef broth base flavoured with a combination of the following ingredients to taste: salt, sugar, soy sauce, a couple kelp leaves, soybean paste, red pepper flakes aka gochugaru, black pepper, garlic power, onion powder.

      I made this one before and used grated garlic. It was way too garlicky and I was worried about trying it again. I used minced garlic from a jar, and it’s so much better! For some reason I only have wasabi kewpie, not regular but it was so good.

        So glad you enjoyed it! Yes I love using minced garlic from the jar as I find it more subtle in taste. Thanks for making my recipe, Tash!

      Add a poached/fried/soft-boiled egg, veggies, and chili oil, and it's a perfect safe food.

      For me, the veggies I love to put in are bok choy, snow peas, and bean sprouts. In a pinch, I use the frozen carrots and peas.

      For the chili oil, I love Lao Gan Ma chili oil with fermented soybeans. The soybeans adds a perfect crunchy texture that just elevates the dish that much more.

      If you want an extra boost of umami, add a dash of umami mushroom seasoning, especially on the egg.
