The ramen egg (soy sauce egg) with liquid egg yolk will make your mouth water. Whether they're put on miso ramen, fried rice, chow mein or egg salad sandwich rolls. They're so delicious and scrumptious.
Ingredients
- 8 egg
- 1/2 cup /150 ml soy sauce, Note 1
- 3 teaspoons sugar, Note 1
- 1/2 cup /150 ml water
Instructions
MARINATE SAUCE:
- Prepare a pot, put soy sauce, water, Shaoxing wine and sugar in and heat it. Let the sugar melt after it comes to a boil, then turn off the heat. Set it aside and let it cool down.
BOILED THE EGG:
- Prepare a pot, put the eggs and water in it and heat it. The water should just cover the eggs. Once it boils, turn it to medium-low heat and boil it for 6.5 to 8 minutes. (Note 2)
- The most important thing is that you keep turning the eggs gently before the water boils. This way the yolk will stay in the center of the egg.
PEELED THE EGG:
- Soak the eggs in cold water or ice water as soon as possible after cooking. If you use cold water, change the water several times to cool the eggs as quickly as possible. This way the eggs won't be cooked further.
- Peel off the egg shell.
MARINATE THE EGGS:
- Pour the sauce into a zip-lock bag or a fresh-keeping container and add the peeled eggs. Turn the eggs with your fingertips so they're evenly colored, and place them in the refrigerator to marinate for 1-2 days before eating. (Note 3)
ASSEMBLING:
- Cut each egg in half using the thread by wrapping the thread around the egg or pushing it through the egg. You can also cut the egg in half with a small knife, but the thread makes a cleaner cut.

Tips & Notes:
- Some soy sauces are relatively salty and need a little sugar to neutralize the salty taste. So if your soy sauce is saltier, you need to adjust the sugar ratio and add a little more starting at half a teaspoon.
- When it's boiled for 6 minutes. At this point, almost all of the egg yolk is runny, while the egg white is still fairly soft.
After 6.5 minutes, the yolk will flow out and be half-cooked at the edges
After 7 minutes, the yolk is half-cooked, but not yet liquid. - You've to throw away the marinade sauce no later than the second day you marinate. We just want the egg. If the egg stays marinated for more than 3 days, it'll become too salty.
