Oh-So-Creamy Marinated Eggs

I love "ajitama" flavored eggs they serve at ramen restaurants so much, I always ask for them! I'm really particular about that soft, creamy texture, so I experimented with the cooking times until I was satisfied.

The cooking time is key.
If you stop the cooking at 6.5 to 7 minutes, and cool the marinade down properly, the yolks will be creamy soft and delicious inside. For 2 servings. Recipe by haruka616.

Ingredients

2 servings
  1. 2Eggs
  2. 20 ml◎Soy sauce
  3. 20 ml◎Mirin
  4. 80 ml◎Water
  5. 1/2 tspDashi stock granules

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Leave the eggs out to bring to room temperature. Bring water to a boil in a small pan. Combine the ◎ ingredients.

  2. 2

    When the water comes to a boil, add the eggs and boil for 6.5 to 7 minutes, or as preferred. Drop the eggs carefully to the pot using a tea strainer or similar so as not to break their shells.

  3. 3

    When the eggs are boiled, cool immediately in cold water. Peel the eggs when they are cool enough to handle. They're the right texture if they feel bouncy but with just enough give.

  4. 4

    Put the ◎ ingredients in the small pan and heat. Dissolve the dashi stock and bring to a boil to make the marinade. Leave to cool.

  5. 5

    Put the eggs in a ziploc bag and add the cooled flavoring sauce. If you put the bag in a deep glass, it's easier to pour in the sauce.

  6. 6

    Leave the eggs to marinate for 1-2 days.

  7. 7

    Turn the bag over occasionally so that the sauce covers all the eggs.

  8. 8

    After two days, your oh-so-creamy soft-set eggs are done!

  9. 9

    Top on a bowl of ramen noodles!
