Ingredients

120 g canned sardines in olive oil
4 garlic cloves finely chopped
15 g ginger finely chopped
2 tablespoon light soy sauce
½ tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
½ teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoon mayonnaise
2 tablespoon yogurt or cream
3 scallions finely sliced
2 instant ramen noodles
2 eggs

Optional garnishes

sesame seeds
chilli oil

Instructions

Place a large skillet on medium heat and drizzle in the canned sardine oil. Set the rest of the can aside for later.
Add in the finely chopped ginger and garlic and fry for 2 minutes until aromatic. Prepare your jammy eggs; boil the eggs for 5 minutes 30 seconds (or 6 minutes if large), then place them into ice cold water.
Next up, add in the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, mayonnaise, yogurt, sugar, and half the scallions. Give everything a good stir and turn the heat to low.
Meanwhile, prepare your instant noodles to packet instructions. Save the noodle water in a jug when you drain the noodles.
Transfer the drained instant noodles into your sauce pan. Add 200ml of noodle water and mix to combine. The noodles should be saucy but not broth. Taste and season accordingly with salt and lots of ground pepper.
Divide your noodles between two bowls. Top with canned sardines, jammy egg, scallions, chilli oil and sesame seeds. Enjoy!
