Ramen Eggs
Japanese marinated soft boiled eggs are easy to make at home to enjoy with your ramen. The eggs are easy to make but do need at least four hours to marinate so plan to make them ahead.
Ingredients
- 8 soft boiled eggs, shells removed (see note)
- 6 tbsp soy sauce, (see note)
- 6 tbsp mirin, (see note)
- 1 1/4 cups water
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, add soy sauce, mirin and water. Mix to combine. Pour liquid into a plastic bag or container that you will be using to marinate the eggs. You want to use something which allows the eggs to be completely submerged in the marinade. I put my eggs in a container that just barely fit all the eggs and marinade. I then placed a lid on top to keep the eggs from floating above the marinade.
- Marinate eggs for about 4 hours or overnight in the fridge. I recommend overnight for the best flavor. Eggs can be eaten cold or you can add them to hot ramen broth to warm them up.
Notes
- I used my Instant Pot to cook my eggs. Check out my Instant Pot Hard and Soft Boiled Eggs post for more details.
- If you are looking to reduce sodium you can use low sodium soy sauce instead of regular but your eggs will also be lighter in color.
- Mirin is a key ingredient to the flavor of these eggs, so I don't recommend substituting it for something else.
