  • Sauté garlic: In a soup pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  • Make the soup base: Pour in water, then add the seasoning powder and dried vegetables from the ramen packet. Stir gently. Add tahini and mix until smooth. If needed, pour in a little more water—just enough to cover the noodles.
    Tip: Tahini makes the broth creamy and adds a nutty taste.

Notes

  • Use just enough water: Keep the water minimal—just enough to cover the noodles. This keeps the sauce rich and creamy.
  • Stir tahini in off heat if it clumps: If your tahini clumps up, remove the pot from heat briefly, stir it in, then return to simmer. This helps it blend smoothly.
  • Add cheese slices last: Let the eggs set a bit before adding cheese so the yolks stay whole. American cheese melts quickly and evenly, giving you that signature creamy texture.
  • Customize the spice: Adjust chili oil or fresh chili to your taste. 
  • Try different toppings: Top with a soft-boiled egg, corn, or sesame seeds for a fun twist. A little drizzle of soy sauce can deepen the umami too.
  • Use non-stick or enamel pot: This prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier, especially when cheese and egg are involved.
