Instant noodles are a college dorm classic, a late-night savior, and a budget-friendly comfort food. But in Japan, foodies have taken it to the next level — and the internet can’t get enough.
A viral instant noodle hack spotted at a 7-Eleven in Osaka is turning heads (and taste buds). Instead of just adding hot water, locals are now mixing in:
🔥 Spicy Mentaiko Sauce
🧀 Melted Cheese Slice
🥚 Half-Boiled Egg (Onsen Tamago)
🌿 Chopped Green Onion and Seaweed
🥢 And the secret kicker? A drizzle of truffle oil from the store’s imported section.
The result? A creamy, umami-loaded noodle bowl that tastes like a Michelin-starred ramen — made right in the convenience store with a microwave and a dream.
Why it might get banned?
Apparently, some stores are reporting microwave lines, spills, and even customers crowding aisles trying to “assemble” their gourmet bowls. Rumors are swirling that 7-Eleven might start limiting how many add-ons you can combine or restricting microwave time during busy hours.
But until that happens — this is your sign to try it before it disappears.
🛒 What you’ll need:
- 1 pack of instant noodles (any kind)
- 1 slice of cheese
- 1 soft-boiled egg or pre-packed onsen egg
- 1 packet of spicy sauce or mentaiko
- Optional: truffle oil, seaweed, spring onions
Just mix everything after heating, and enjoy the best noodles of your life — right from a convenience store.
