Soy-Marinated Ramen Eggs are a delicious Japanese-style soft-boiled egg marinated in a savory soy sauce mixture. Perfect for adding to ramen or enjoying as a snack, these eggs feature a tender white exterior with a flavorful, custard-like yolk soaked in a sweet and salty soy marinade.

Ingredients

Scale

Eggs

  • 6 large eggs

Marinade

  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 cup water

Instructions

  1. Boil the eggs: Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 6-7 minutes for a slightly runny yolk. Immediately transfer eggs to an ice bath to stop cooking and make peeling easier.
  2. Prepare the marinade: In a bowl, mix soy sauce, sugar, and water until the sugar dissolves completely, creating a balanced sweet and savory marinade.
  3. Peel the eggs: Gently tap each egg on a hard surface and peel off the shells carefully to keep the whites intact.
  4. Marinate the eggs: Place peeled eggs in a resealable bag or container and pour the soy marinade over them, ensuring they are fully submerged. Refrigerate and marinate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to let the flavors infuse thoroughly.
  5. Serve: Slice the eggs in half and serve atop ramen bowls or as a flavorful snack. Store any leftovers in the marinade in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Notes

  • For firmer or softer yolks, adjust boiling time accordingly.
  • Use low-sodium soy sauce if desired to reduce saltiness.
  • Marinating overnight results in deeper flavor and richer color.
  • The marinade can be reused for additional batches if boiled to ensure safety.
  • Eggs should be kept refrigerated during marinating and storage.
