Soy Marinated Ramen Eggs

‍

Ramen eggs are soy sauce marinated eggs in a spicy, garlicky, sweet and savoury sauce with that delicious jammy yolk when you cut them in half. They go great on ramen (duh) but are also delicious editions to many other savoury dishes. Marinated eggs are so easy to make, come together in under 15 minutes and I promise that you will love them too! 

‍

Let’s be honest, a ramen bowl is not a ramen bowl without this delicious marinated egg on top.

‍

How do you make Soy Marinated Eggs? 

There are only 3 steps to this recipe:

‍

1. Soft-boil your eggs
2. Mix your marinade ingredients
3. Marinate your eggs in the soy-sauce mixture

‍

Easy right??

‍

How do you soft-boil the perfect egg? 

There are a million different ways to soft-boil your eggs, but the method I’m about to explain has my personal preference. 

‍

- It starts with eggs, either room temperature or refrigerated eggs are fine. Then take your kettle and start boiling some water. 

‍

- When you place your eggs in a saucepan, make sure that the pan is not too large so you don’t have to add too much water. Adding too much water will make it harder for the water to continue boiling, which is vital for the perfect egg. 

‍

- Add the boiling water to your eggs to just cover all of them. Set a timer to 6-7 minutes, 6 for room temperature eggs and 7 for refrigerated eggs. 

‍

- As soon as the timer goes off, take your eggs off the heat and shock them in an ice-bath

‍

- Once cooled, gently crack the shell of the eggs and gently peel the eggs.

‍

There you have it! Perfectly soft-boiled eggs every 👏 single 👏 time 👏

What dishes can you pair these eggs with?

These eggs are a very popular side dish in many Korean and Japanese households, and I can see why! Here are a few delicious dishes that you can pair these eggs with:

‍

• Ramen soup
• A steaming bowl of white rice with crispy seaweed
• Fried rice
• Egg noodles
• Ramen noodles
• Toast

‍

The best part about this recipe is that you can play around with the sauce to make it more to your liking. Not a fan of garlic? Feel free to leave it out. Big fan of sesame? Add a few drops of sesame oil! So this is one of the few recipes on my site where I’ll allow you to deviate from what is written below :).
