Let’s Make: Soy Sauce Ramen Eggs. Fuck paying $3 at a Ramen shop for these opulent eggs when they are super easy and cheap to make. The rich custardy yolk and marinated egg whites work perfectly as a snack and a side.
These eggs only actually take three ingredients to make at the very least, but I added some completely optional ingredients to give a little boost. These optional ingredients are listed with “(Optional)” in the recipe card. You only actually need egg, soy sauce, and Mirin to make. The marinate can be re-used marinate more eggs, meat, and tofu.
The dark soy sauce can be omitted but give the eggs are really dark color. This means that you can add more or less if you want.
I prefer to boil the eggs for 6-7 minutes for a custardy egg yolk, but boil it longer if you want the yolk to be more set.

Soy Sauce Ramen Eggs: Fuck Paying $3 at a Ramen Shop (Easy and Simple)
- In 4 cups of boiling water, add in vinegary and cold eggs. When the last egg is dropped in, set timer for 6-7 minutes for an opulent yolk, but boil longer for a more solid yolk if wanted. After boiling, immediately put the eggs in an icebath Then, allow the eggs to fully cool down, this takes about an hour. Then peel the eggs.
2. In a small pot, boil together Soy Sauce, Dark Soy Sauce, Knotted Scallion Stalk, Chili Pepper, Slices of Ginger, Brown Sugar, Star Anise, and Mirin. Simmer for 3 minutes at least.
3. Put peeled eggs into an air-tight container and pour the marinate over them, the spices and everything as well. Put a paper towel on top of the marinating eggs to prevent a little circle of egg white from not marinating, if wanted. This will make it so that every part of the egg is marinating. Put them in the fridge, and let them marinate for about 2 hours, or longer for a darker color. This is the time where the yolks will thicken and become super rich.
