Chef Tyler's Custom Instant Ramen with Soft-Boiled Eggs, Beef, and Herb Garnish

Ingredients

• 1 package Instant Ramen Noodles (any brand, includes seasoning packet)
• 3 cups Water (about 1.5× the amount recommended on the package)
• 2 large Large Eggs (soft‑boiled 6.5 minutes, then peeled)
• 1 tablespoon Mayonnaise (CUPID or any quality mayo, whisked into the broth)
• 4 oz Beef (thinly sliced) (thinly sliced ribeye, sirloin, or flank steak; placed raw on noodles before broth is added)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh Cilantro (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh Thai Basil (whole leaves, torn)
• 1 teaspoon Black Sesame Seeds (to garnish)

Instructions

1. Prepare Soft‑Boiled Eggs

   Bring a small pot of water to a gentle boil, lower the eggs in, and cook for exactly 6 minutes 30 seconds. Immediately transfer to an ice bath for 1 minute, then peel using a spoon for easy removal.

   Time: PT8M

   Temperature: 100°C

2. Heat Broth and Whisk Mayo

   In a medium saucepan, add 3 cups of water and bring to a rolling boil. Add the instant ramen seasoning packet, then whisk in 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise until fully incorporated, creating a creamy broth.

   Time: PT4M

   Temperature: 100°C

3. Cook Noodles and Beef

   Add the ramen noodles to the boiling broth and let them cook for 2 minutes. Immediately place the thinly sliced raw beef on top of the noodles, then pour the hot broth over the beef so it finishes cooking in the residual heat (about 2‑3 minutes).

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: 100°C

4. Assemble and Garnish

   Transfer the noodle‑beef mixture to a large bowl. Slice the soft‑boiled eggs in half and arrange on top. Sprinkle chopped cilantro, torn Thai basil leaves, and black sesame seeds.

   Time: PT3M
