How to Make the Perfect Ramen Egg (Ajitsuke Tamago)
Ingredients for Ramen Eggs:
• 2 eggs
• 5 tbsp soy sauce (dark soy recommended)
• ½ cup water
• 4 tbsp mirin
Step 1: Boil the Eggs
1. Take cold eggs from the fridge and poke a small hole at
the base with a paperclip or pin (this helps prevent cracking).
2. Boil water and gently add eggs.
3. Simmer for 6 minutes (for jammy yolks). Stir eggs for the
first minute to keep the yolk centered.
4. After 6 minutes, transfer eggs to ice-cold water and let
them sit for 6 minutes.
Step 2: Marinate the Eggs
1. In a bowl, mix soy sauce, mirin, and water.
2. Peel the eggs and place them in the marinade.
3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours (up to 2 days
for deeper flavor).
