Easy Ramen Eggs Ingredients
- 4 large eggs (refrigerated)
For the marinade:
- 4 tablespoons of soy sauce
- 4 tablespoon of mirin
- 4 tablespoons of sake or water
- 1 teaspoon of sugar
How to Make Ramen Eggs
Step 1:
Start by bring water to a boil.
Step 2:
In a different small pot, add 4 tablespoons of soy sauce, 4 tablespoons of mirin, 4 tablespoons of sake, and 1 teaspoon of sugar. Place it over medium heat, mix until the sugar dissolves, then bring it to a boil. Remove from heat.
Step 3:
When the water is boiling on the other pot, add the cold eggs. Boil for 7 minutes. Make sure they are submerged. Roll them gently with chopsticks so egg yoks stay centered. Once done, transfer the eggs into an ice bath and let them sit for 15 minutes.
Step 4:
After 15 minutes, peel the shell from the eggs. Place them into a ziplock bag, then place on a deep small square plastic container so the eggs are in a single layer. Pour the marinade over the eggs, make sure they are fully submerged. Remove the air from the plastic bag then seal it. Using a food plastic clip, clip the plastic bag as close to the marinade to keep the eggs in place. Place in the refrigerator for 8 hours.
Step 5:
Slice and serve enjoy!
