Where is mayo ramen from?<\/h2>\n

Ramen and mayo is not a new thing – in Japan they even sell mayo flavored ramen. Not surprising, considering Japan is obsessed with Kewpie mayo. But recently, a squirt of mayo in instant ramen has been trending on Japanese Youtube<\/a> and Tiktok.<\/p>\n

What does mayo ramen taste like?<\/h2>\n

It tastes like instant ramen with a luxurious boost of umami and richness thanks to the kewpie mayo and garlic. Instead of your typical thin instant ramen broth, the kewpie mayo and egg help thicken and give body to the broth, making the soup cling to the noodles better.<\/p>\n

Why it makes sense<\/h2>\n

Adding an extra bit of fat to ramen broth is classic in ramen making, usually in the form of aroma oil (that\u2019s the little packet of fat you get in instant ramen seasoning) By boosting the fat content by using kewpie mayo, your instant ramen will instantly (LOL) become thicker and more flavorful. The kewpie adds complexity, mouthfeel, and a huge amount of flavor by helping the broth stick to the noodles as you pull them up.<\/p>\n
