Description
Delicious ramen eggs that enhance the flavor of your ramen or can be enjoyed as a snack.
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons vinegar (optional)
- ½ cup light sodium soy sauce
- ¼ cup water
- ¼ cup mirin
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Instructions
- Boil the eggs in a pot of water for 6 minutes to achieve a soft-boiled texture. Optional: Add vinegar to the water for easier peeling.
- Shock the eggs in ice water for 15 minutes to cool and stop cooking.
- Prepare the marinade by combining soy sauce, water, mirin, and sugar in a bowl or container and stir until the sugar dissolves.
- Once the eggs are cool, crack and peel them carefully. Rinse if necessary.
- Place the peeled eggs into the marinade and let them soak for at least 8 hours or overnight.
- For best flavor, remove the eggs from the marinade after 12 to 36 hours and enjoy them in ramen or as a side dish.
Notes
For easier peeling, use eggs that are at least a week old. Experiment with marinade ingredients for different flavors.
