Hailey’s Creamy Buldak Ramen
Ingredients
- 1 pack Buldak Carbonara ramen
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1 egg yolk, optional
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise, Kewpie recommended
- 1 slice cheddar cheese
- 1 soft-boiled egg, optional

- 1 teaspoon chili oil, optional, for drizzling
Instructions
- 1
Bring 1 1/2 cups of water to a rolling boil in a small saucepan or pot. Carefully add the noodles from the Buldak Carbonara pack and cook until they are just tender, about 3-4 minutes. Do not drain all the water; reserve the noodle water as it is crucial for creating the creamy broth.

While the noodles are cooking, prepare the creamy base in a serving bowl. Place the 1 slice of cheddar cheese into the bowl. Add the entire contents of the Buldak red sauce packet and the powder seasoning packet. If using, add 1 egg yolk and 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise (Kewpie recommended). Pour in 3 tablespoons of the hot reserved noodle water to help melt the cheese and combine the ingredients. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are smooth and well-incorporated, forming a creamy paste.
⏱️ 3 min - 3
Once the noodles are cooked, carefully transfer them directly into the bowl with the creamy base. Then, pour in about 3/4 cup of the hot reserved noodle water. Swirl gently with chopsticks or a fork until the broth turns creamy and the noodles are fully coated and submerged in the rich sauce. Adjust the amount of reserved noodle water depending on your preferred broth thickness.

Finish the ramen by topping it with your desired optional garnishes. This is highly recommended for the best experience! Add a soft-boiled egg (halved, if desired), blanched bok choy leaves, and a drizzle of 1 teaspoon of chili oil for an extra layer of flavor and heat. Serve immediately and enjoy your ultimate comfort food!
