ajitsuke tamago

One of my favorite things to get at Japanese ramen shops is the ajitsuke tamago, a perfectly soft boiled marinated egg, with the center still a creamy, runny custard. It's all about the timing with these eggs to achieve the right consistency and can take a few tries to get right.&nbsp;

Ajitsuke Tamago

water

sake

soy sauce

mirin

sugar

eggs

vinegar

Combine water, sake, soy, mirin, and sugar in a medium bowl and whisk until sugar is dissolved. Set aside

Bring 2 quarts of water and vinegar to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Lower to medium heat once it comes to a boil. Pierce a tiny hole in the bottom of each egg carefully with a thumbtack. This prevents the egg from cracking. Place eggs into boiling water along with egg timer. Cook until egg timer reaches a soft boiled stage.

Remove eggs and run under cold water. Gently place cracks into egg. Remove a little bit of shell from one end. Using small sharp spoon, use to get between egg white and egg shell and remove rest of shell with spoon. You should be able to get most of the shell off in one maneuver.

Put eggs into bowl with marinade. Use spoons or other devices to weight down each egg to keep entire eggs submerged under. Refrigerate and marinate at least four hours and up to 12. Discard marinade after 12 hours. Store eggs in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Serve with ramen.

Ramen eggs are soy sauce marinated eggs that are soft boiled for a runny, jammy yolk. They&#039;re also called shoyu eggs, soy sauce eggs, or soy marinated eggs. In Japan they&#039;re called ajitama or ajitsuke tamago and is often served atop a bowl of ramen.

Tablespoon vinegar (for easy peeling)

water or stock

mirin (see Note 1 for substitutions)

soy sauce ((optional

Soft Boil Eggs

Soft boiled eggs: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add vinegar for easy peeling, then gently lower each egg into the pot. Set a timer for 6 minutes for room temperature eggs or 7 minutes for cold eggs from the refrigerator. See Note 2.Stir the eggs in one direction for the first 30 seconds for an even cross section.

Peel Eggs

Peel eggs: After the timer is up, place the eggs in an ice bath to stop cooking. Once cooled, crack the shell all over and carefully peel by inserting a spoon between the egg and shell.

Marinate Eggs

Marinate eggs: Place a ziplock plastic bag in a small bowl or cup for stabilization. Then add the water or stock, soy sauce, mirin, and optional dark soy sauce to the plastic bag. Gently place the eggs inside the bag and squeeze air out of the bag to ensure the eggs are covered in the marinade. Twist and clip the bag closed. This allows for a smaller amount of marinade to cover the eggs without extra waste.Marinate in soy mirin mixture for up to 3 days in the fridge.

Serve with Ramen

Serve: Cut in half and place on top of ramen noodles or rice bowls. Enjoy!
