Ingredients

  • 6 eggs
  • ½ Cup soy sauce I prefer Aloha Shoyu
  • ½ Cup mirin
  • ½ Cup water
  • ½ teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 garlic cloves smashed
  • 4 slices fresh ginger

Instructions

  • Note: You can use ANY favorite method for soft-boiling eggs in this recipe. Some people prefer steaming, pressure cooking, etc. If you have a favorite method to arrive at soft-boiled, feel free to use it!
    Bring a medium-sized pot of water to boil on the stove top. Reduce heat to a low simmer.
    Place all eggs in the water at once and boil for 6.5-7 minutes.
  • Immediately remove eggs at the same time and place them directly in an ice bath.
  • While eggs are cooling, combine soy sauce, mirin, water, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil in a quart-sized deli container, or similar container.
    Peel eggs and add them to the marinade. Refrigerate for 12-48 hours for eggs to soak up marinade. Twirl them around occasionally for even marination.
  • Slice in half and serve on ramen, rice bowls, avocado toast, etc,

Notes

  • Store marinated ramen eggs in an airtight container, submerged in the marinade, and enjoy within 2-3 days for best results.
  • Don't microwave or boil your marinated eggs to reheat them, as that will likely result in overcooked eggs. If you're short on time, you can pop the whole marinated egg in a bowl of very warm water for a minute or two as you finish cooking your ramen, then let the hot ramen broth do the rest of the work after slicing.
