4. Toss in the cooked noodles, coating them in the creamy broth.
5. Garnish with chopped scallions and a drizzle of chili oil if desired. Enjoy!

Storage:

This ramen is best eaten fresh for the creamiest texture!

Tips:

• Adjust Spiciness: Reduce the seasoning packet or skip the chili oil for a milder taste.
• Extra Creaminess: Add a bit more mayo or a splash of milk if you like a richer broth.
• Substitute Kewpie Mayo: If you can’t find kewpie mayo, feel free to use regular mayo
• Optional Protein Boost: Add a soft-boiled egg or some sliced grilled chicken on top for extra protein and heartiness.
