Why You’ll Love Spicy Ramen
As I have mentioned before, ramen is one of my comfort meals, and this one is SO good and easy to make, and this one is spicy and delicious. The poached egg on top is a great way to incorporate protein into the ramen, and it also adds a bit texture and flavor.
How To Prepare Spicy Ramen
🌶 Mix together the mayo, chili crunch, rice vinegar, sugar and saucy seasoning packet from the ramen. Tip: if your ramen doesn’t have that, you can instead add in 1.5 tbsp soy sauce + 2 tsp sesame oil, adjust to taste.
🍜 Cook ramen to package instructions and add it to the sauce with 1/4 cup ramen water.
🍳 Poach the egg yolks in the simmering water for 15-30 seconds max if you want them runny but cook for a little longer is you want them more cooked.
🌿 Top the ramen with the yolks, more chili oil and the dry seasoning packet from the ramen. You can also add dry scallions and that is it!
Substitutions and Variations

Chef Nadia’s Tip
If your ramen doesn’t have a seasoning packet, you can instead just add in 1.5 tbsp soy sauce + 2 tsp sesame oil, adjust to taste.
