Ingredients
- ramen noodles
- mayo
- pork or chicken broth
- sliced pork or chicken
- green onions
- sesame seeds
Instructions
- Bring a medium pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the ramen noodles and cook according to package instructions, typically 3-4 minutes until they are al dente and slightly chewy.
- While the noodles are cooking, heat your pork or chicken broth in a separate saucepan. Warm the broth until it's steaming but not boiling, which helps maintain its rich flavor.
- Drain the cooked noodles thoroughly in a colander, shaking off excess water to prevent diluting the broth.
- Transfer the hot noodles to a serving bowl. Immediately add 1-2 tablespoons of mayonnaise and quickly toss to coat the noodles evenly, creating a creamy base.
- Gently pour the hot broth over the mayo-coated noodles, stirring to create a smooth, silky sauce.
- Top the ramen with pre-cooked sliced pork or chicken, arranging the meat attractively on top of the noodles.
- Garnish with finely chopped green onions and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds for added flavor and visual appeal.
- Serve immediately while hot, ensuring the creamy mayo sauce and broth are still steaming.
Tips
- Choose Quality Broth: For the best flavor, use a high-quality pork or chicken broth. Homemade broth will elevate your dish, but store-bought options work just fine for a quick meal.
- Perfectly Cook Your Noodles: Follow the package instructions for cooking the ramen noodles, but keep an eye on them to ensure they remain al dente. Overcooked noodles can become mushy and lose their appeal.
- Customize Your Toppings: Feel free to get creative with your toppings! Add soft-boiled eggs, seaweed, or even pickled vegetables for an extra burst of flavor and texture.
- Adjust the Mayo: Start with a tablespoon of mayonnaise and adjust to your taste. You can also experiment with flavored mayonnaises, such as garlic or sriracha, to add a unique twist.
- Serve Immediately: This dish is best enjoyed fresh and hot. Serve it right after preparation to fully appreciate the creamy sauce and warm broth.
