Ingredients

1 Yellow onion (medium, thinly sliced)
2 tbsp Butter
Salt (to taste)
Black pepper (to taste)
1 package Ramen noodles (cook according to package directions)
1 Egg yolk
2 tbsp Kewpie mayonnaise
1 tbsp Bachan’s Original Japanese Barbecue Sauce
1 tsp Mushroom dashi powder (or chicken bouillon)
1 tsp Chili crisp
0.25 cup Noodle cooking water (reserved; the method specifically says to reserve 1/2 cup)
Scallions (sliced, for serving)

Steps

1
Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-low heat.
2
Add the thinly sliced onion and season with salt and black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until deeply caramelized and browned, with some dark crispy bits.
3
Boil the ramen noodles according to the package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup of the noodle cooking water before draining.
4
In a serving bowl, mix the egg yolk, Kewpie mayonnaise, and Bachan’s Japanese Barbecue Sauce until smooth.
5
Add half of the caramelized onions, the mushroom dashi powder (or chicken bouillon), and chili crisp. Mix together.
6
Slowly whisk in the reserved noodle cooking water until the sauce is smooth.
7
Add the hot noodles and toss until they are evenly coated in the sauce.
8
Top with the remaining caramelized onions and sliced scallions. Serve immediately.

Notes

The ingredient list gives 1/4–1/2 cup of noodle water, while the method specifies reserving 1/2 cup. The transcript says the recipe takes under 15 minutes; onion caramelization time is not separately stated.
