Ingredients:
Ingredients:
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 cloves garlic, smashed
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger (optional)
- 1 green onion, chopped (optional)
- Boil the eggs: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Gently lower the eggs into the boiling water and cook for exactly 7 minutes for a slightly soft yolk. For a firmer yolk, cook for 8-9 minutes.
- Prepare an ice bath: While the eggs are cooking, fill a bowl with ice water.
- Peel the eggs: Once the eggs are done, transfer them to the ice water bath to cool for a few minutes. Then carefully peel the eggs under cool running water.
- Make the marinade: In a saucepan, combine the soy sauce, mirin, water, sugar, garlic, and grated ginger (if using). Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
- Marinate the eggs: Place the peeled eggs in a container or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the eggs, making sure they are completely submerged. Add chopped green onions if desired. Seal the container or bag and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
- Serve: Once marinated, remove the eggs from the marinade and slice them in half. They are ready to serve with ramen or as a topping for salads or rice bowls. Enjoy!
