Ramen Eggs
Serves 1
Directions
- 1Use an egg poker to make a tiny hole on the flatter end of each egg, which releases pressure during cooking and makes peeling easier.
- 2Combine one part San-J Tamari, one part Mirin, and three parts water in a glass container for the marinade. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
- 3Carefully place the eggs into boiling water using a mesh strainer to ensure they all go in at once, maintaining consistent cooking time.
- 4Boil the eggs for 6 minutes and 30 seconds for a perfect jammy yolk.
- 5After cooking, immediately transfer the eggs to an ice water bath to stop the cooking process and make them easier to peel.
- 6Peel the cooked eggs carefully.
- 7Submerge the peeled eggs in the prepared marinade. Ensure the eggs are fully covered by the liquid.
- 8Cover the container and refrigerate the eggs for two days to allow the marinade to fully absorb and infuse the eggs with flavor.
- 9Serve the marinated ramen eggs as a topping for ramen or Japanese beef bowls.

Tips
- The egg poker helps prevent cracking and makes peeling easier by releasing pressure.
- For the best flavor, marinate the eggs for two days, as this allows the marinade to fully seep into the egg whites and yolks.
- Agitama eggs are versatile and can be used in ramen or rice bowls like Gyudon (Japanese beef bowl).
