How to Make Ramen Eggs

Ingredients

• 4 large refrigerated eggs
• ¼ cup soy sauce
• ¼ cup mirin
• ¼ cup sake or water
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• Ice for cooling

How to make them

1. Heat the soy sauce, mirin, sake or water, and sugar in a small pan. Simmer for 1 minute, then let the marinade cool completely.
2. Bring enough water to cover the eggs to a boil. Lower the eggs in carefully and cook at a gentle simmer for 7 minutes.
3. Move the eggs into ice water for 15 minutes. Peel gently.
4. Place the eggs and cooled marinade in a small food-safe bag or container. Keep the eggs submerged and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
5. Halve and add to your finished ramen.
