Directions

To Prep

1. Prepare an ice bath by adding ice into a large bowl filled with cold water. Place in the fridge.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, mirin and water. Pour into a zip lock bag. Seal and set aside.

To Cook

1. Bring water to the boil in a saucepan over high heat.
2. Once boiling, carefully add eggs from the fridge and reduce heat to medium-low. Allow to simmer for exactly 7 mins.
3. Remove eggs from the water and place in the ice bath. Allow to cool for 3 mins.
4. Gently peel eggs, then add into the bag with marinade. Seal, place in a bowl or container and leave in the fridge to marinate at least overnight. For best results, allow to marinate for 3-4 days.
5. To serve, slice in half and serve with ramen.

Tip:

1. If you prefer your egg runnier, cook for 6 – 6½ mins. For a more set, custard-like yolk, cook for 8 – 8½ mins. For a hard-boiled egg, cook for 12+ mins.
