The Japanese Marinated Egg is the only soft boiled egg that I can genuinely say I enjoy and LOVE! The egg is cooked to perfection, savoury, sweet and packed with umami flavour. The thought of it already makes me drool.

⠀⠀

It is a staple topping on a bowl of ramen; however, it is so versatile that you can have it with almost anything or even just on its own.

⠀

Guess what? It is also extremely easy to make!

Let's get on it, shall we?⠀
