These jammy soy-marinated ramen eggs are creamy, salty, sweet, and utterly perfect. With just 10 minutes of active work, you can make a batch that transforms any meal into something special.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, at room temperature
  • Ice water bath (ice and cold water)
  • ½ cup low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • ¼ cup mirin (or substitute: 2 tablespoons honey + 2 tablespoons water + splash of rice vinegar)
  • 2 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (white, brown, or honey)
  • 2 cloves garlic, smashed
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)

Instructions

  1. Bring a saucepan of water to a rolling boil (enough to cover eggs by at least 1 inch).
  2. Using a slotted spoon, gently lower each room-temperature egg into the boiling water. Set a timer for exactly 6 minutes 30 seconds.
  3. Boil for 6 minutes 30 seconds for a jammy yolk (7 minutes for firmer, 6 minutes for runnier).
  4. Immediately transfer eggs to an ice water bath and let sit for at least 5 minutes (10 minutes recommended).
  5. Peel eggs under running water, starting from the wider end. Pat dry with paper towels.
  6. In a jar or container, combine soy sauce, mirin, rice vinegar, sugar, and smashed garlic. Stir or shake until sugar dissolves. Add sesame oil if using.
  7. Place peeled eggs in the jar and pour marinade over them, ensuring they are fully submerged. Add a little water if needed.
  8. Seal the jar and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight (up to 24 hours for best flavor). Do not exceed 48 hours.

Notes

Use older eggs (at least a week old) for easier peeling. The marinade can be reused once: bring to a boil for 2 minutes to kill bacteria, let cool, then use again. For a spicier version, add 1 teaspoon chili oil or sriracha. For a sweeter version, replace soy sauce with white miso paste mixed with water and honey.
