Soft Boiled Ramen Egg

Ajitama (also known as ramen eggs) are one of the most popular ramen toppings, and for good reason! These soft-boiled eggs, gently soaked in a flavorful umami-rich sauce, are a perfect complement to a comforting bowl of ramen or a delightful snack all on their own.

Ajitama Eggs

what you'll need:

» tsuyu sauce » soy sauce » water » mirin » sake » water » salt » eggs

Make marinade

Add tsuyu sauce, soy sauce, water, mirin, sake and sugar to a saucepan and boil for 1-2 minutes. Remove from the heat and leave to cool.

1

Boil water

Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil and add salt. Salt water helps prevent the egg white leaking out if the shell breaks.

2

Add eggs

Gently lower the eggs into the water and set a timer for 7 minutes. Place a lid on top of the pan to prevent the water from evaporating.

3

Cool eggs
