↓ The ingredients ↓ The steps

Transform ordinary packet ramen into an extraordinary late-night comfort meal with the magic of slow-roasted garlic. Roasting the garlic heads until completely tender creates a rich, mellow sweetness that infuses the soup base, while leaving a few skins on during boiling adds a deep, savory complexity to the broth.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1Cut the garlic
    Garlic bulb being sliced on a wooden board with a knife.

    Place the garlic bulb on a wooden cutting board and cut it into sections to prepare for roasting.

    Tip: Cut the garlic open across the cloves so they are exposed for roasting.
  2. 2Air fry the garlic
    Roasted garlic inside an air fryer basket.

    Place the cut garlic bulb and individual cloves into the air fryer basket.

    Tip: Air fry at 200 degrees for 20 minutes, though 15 minutes is also enough to make the garlic completely soft.
  3. 3Chop spring onions
    Green onion slices on a wooden cutting board.

    Chop the spring onions into small slices on a wooden cutting board to use as a garnish later.

    Tip: Finely chop the spring onions for better distribution and presentation.
  4. 4Boil the water
    Water poured into a white cooking pot on a stove.

    Pour 550ml of water into a white pot on an induction cooktop and add the roasted garlic cloves.

    Tip: Use exactly 550ml of water for the proper soup ratio.
  5. 5Simmer garlic broth
    Garlic skins and cloves boiling in water to form a broth.

    Boil the roasted garlic cloves and their skins together in the water to infuse the soup with rich flavor.

    Tip: Boiling the skins along with the cloves adds deep flavor to the broth.
  6. 6Add ramen noodles
    Ramen noodles being added to the boiling garlic broth.

    Fish out the garlic skins from the boiling soup, then add the ramen noodles and boil for 3 minutes.

    Tip: Make sure to remove the loose skins before dropping in the noodles.
  7. 7Add an Egg
    An egg cracked into a pot of bubbling red ramen broth.

    Crack an egg directly into the pot of boiling ramen soup and allow it to cook for about 1 minute without stirring too much, letting the white set while keeping the yolk soft.

    Tip: Do not over-stir after adding the egg if you want the yolk to remain creamy and intact.
