Ramen Eggs

I’ve seen Ramen Eggs come by in many recipes for ramen soups or rice bowls for example. If I had known how easy they were to make I would have made them much sooner and more often!

The below recipe is for up to 4 eggs. Start by boiling your eggs to how you like them, I like medium to soft boiled: set whites, soft yolks. Bring a pan of water to the boil, when boiling add the eggs in from the fridge. Boil for exactly 6.5 minutes on medium heat, simmering, no rolling water (make sure the water covers the eggs). When time is up transfer them to a bowl of ice water and let cool for 2 minutes, then peel.

In a bowl mix together the following ingredients: 2 tbsp light soy sauce, 2 tbsp mirin and water. If you plan to eat the eggs within a few hours, you can use 0-1 tbsp of water water (depending on how salty you prefer them). If you plan to eat them the next day it’s best to use more water otherwise they might get too salty, I used 3 tbsp.

Add the marinade ingredients in a small ziplock bag placed in a small bowl, this way you will need less of the marinade and won’t have to discard as much after using.

Place the peeled eggs in the ziplock bag and place the bowl with bag in the fridge until you want to eat them. They will keep for 4 days if soft boiled and up to a week if hard boiled. You can eat them just as they are as a snack or for example in a Ramen soup. Enjoy!
