I order the seasoned eggs separately at ramen noodle shops. It's 100 yen each, which is expensive! So I thought of making it at home.

Be careful when peeling the eggs. They are very soft.

Ingredients

4 servings
  1. 4Eggs
  2. 50 ml※Soy sauce
  3. 100 ml※Sake
  4. 150 ml※Mirin
  5. 2cm Kombu for dashi stock

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Combine the ※ marked ingredients in a pot and add the kombu. Let it sit for 10 minutes. Then bring the soy sauce mixture to a boil to evaporate the alcohol. Remove the kombu, which can be eaten later. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Take out the eggs from the refrigerator and using a ladle, gently drop in boiling water.

  3. 3

    Cook for 6 minutes for very soft yolk and 7 minutes for slightly cooked yolk. Shock the eggs in cold water (winter) or in an ice-bath (summer) to stop cooking.

  4. 4

    When cool, carefully peel the eggs and place in a ziploc bag. Pour in the soy sauce mixture and using a straw, suck out the air from the bag and seal.

  5. 5

    Marinate at least for 30 minutes. They taste better when marinated overnight.

  6. 6

    You can eat them as they are, but they are great as a ramen topping.
