How to Make Ramen Eggs
Adding a perfectly boiled ramen egg to your bowl of ramen can take your dish to a whole new level. The creamy yolk and seasoned egg whites add a burst of flavor and an attractive visual element to your bowl. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to make ramen eggs that will elevate your ramen game to expert level.
Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup mirin
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tbsp sugar
Instructions:
1. Boil the Eggs:
Start by bringing a pot of water to a boil. Gently lower the eggs into the boiling water using a slotted spoon. Boil the eggs for 6-7 minutes for a slightly runny yolk or 8-9 minutes for a firmer yolk.
2. Prepare an Ice Bath:
Once the eggs are boiled to your desired doneness, immediately transfer them to an ice water bath using the slotted spoon. Let the eggs cool for a few minutes to stop the cooking process.
3. Peel the Eggs:
Gently crack the eggshells on a hard surface and peel the eggs under cool running water to make peeling easier and smoother.
4. Marinate the Eggs:
In a saucepan, combine soy sauce, mirin, water, and sugar. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Allow the marinade to cool completely.
5. Marinate the Eggs:
Place the peeled eggs in a container or a ziplock bag and pour the cooled marinade over them, ensuring the eggs are fully submerged. Marinate the eggs in the refrigerator for at least a few hours or preferably overnight for the best flavor.
