10-Minute Caribbean Jerk Ramen

Choose your heat: Mild gives the broth gentle warmth and is the best starting point. Use BackYard Blendz Jerk Medium for a stronger kick or Jerk Hell when you want serious heat.

Start with only a pinch of the ramen seasoning packet. BackYard Blendz Jerk Seasoning already contributes herbs, spices and seasoning, so using the entire packet can overwhelm the jerk flavour and make the broth unnecessarily salty.

Add the jerk seasoning towards the end of cooking rather than boiling it aggressively from the beginning. This helps preserve more of its fresh aromatic character.

For a fuller meal, add leftover chicken, sautéed vegetables, scallions or another quick topping you already have on hand.

If using an egg while keeping this genuinely a 10-minute meal, use a pre-boiled egg or one prepared ahead.
