Servings: 3 ramen eggs
Ingredients
Ingredients for the Marinate
- 30 ml Soy sauce
- 30 ml Mirin
- 30 ml Water
- ½ teaspoon Sugar
Other ingredients
- 3 Eggs
Instructions
Marinated sauce
- Start by preparing the marinate. In a sauce pan on medium-high heat add all the ingredients for the marinate.
- Bring it to a boil. Once it is boiling, let it simmer for 1 minute. Reserve
Boiled eggs
- Make tiny holes in the egg, so it cooks properly.
- In a small pan, add water, enough to fully cover the eggs. Bring it to a boil. Once the water is boiling, carefully add the eggs, with the help of a spoon. Once the eggs are inside the pot, you can reduce the heat to medium.
- Now it is time to put the timer to cook the eggs as per your taste.6 minutes for me is the ideal. You will have a fully cooked egg whites, but runny egg yolks.7 minutes if you prefer the yolk not so runny, but creamy.
- Prepare the bowl that will cool off the eggs. Get a bowl that can fit the eggs and some ice. Add enough cold water from the sink to fully cover the eggs and some pieces of ice.Once the time is up, remove one egg at a time and immediately add them to a bowl with water and ice in it. This will make sure that the cooking stops immediately.
- Once the eggs are cool, gently peel the eggs.
Marinate the eggs
- In a bowl or in a Ziploc bag, add the marinate and the eggs.
- Place the bag or bowl in the fridge and leave it there for at least 3 hours. Best results are after at least 12 hours.
Cutting and Serve
- When the marinated is done, you can add these eggs to your ramen bowl. Carefully remove them from the bag and place one egg at a time in a cutting board. Cut the eggs lengthwise.
