Marinated Egg For Ramen Recipes

RAMEN EGGS

Steps:

• Whisk together soy sauce, sake, coconut sugar, rice vinegar, and water.
• Add all the liquid to a small sauce pan and heat the liquid until it starts to simmer (~1 minute). Take it off the stove and let it cool for 20 minutes. Cooling the liquid will prevent the heat from cooking the eggs.
• Put the soy sauce mixture into a bowl or ziplock bag. Set aside.
• Soft boiling the eggs: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Once at a rolling boil, cook eggs for 6 minutes 10 seconds. After this time, immediately put the eggs in ice water. Let them sit for 5 minutes in the ice water.
• De-shell the eggs and add it to the soy sauce mixture. Marinate for 1 hour or more. If the egg is not fully submerged in the sauce, marinate for 30 minutes on one side and then flip it over and marinate for another 30 minutes on the other side.

VEGGIE RAMEN WITH TOFU & MARINATED EGGS

Steps:

• For the ramen broth: Add the oil to a large pot over medium heat, followed by the onion, garlic, ginger and handful of shiitake mushrooms. Stir frequently and saute over medium-low heat for about 6-8 minutes, until fragrant. Add the broth, water, miso paste, and soy sauce. Stir and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cook uncovered for at least 30 minutes. If you wish to cook longer than 30 minutes, cover the pot and continue simmering. Make sure to taste it after 30 minutes and adjust as needed!
• Cook the remaining mushrooms: Add about a tablespoon of oil to a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms with a little salt and pepper and stir. Cook for about 10 minutes, until the mushrooms are fragrant and have shrunk in size. If the pan looks dry while cooking, add a splash of water. Set the mushrooms aside.
• Prep the rest of your vegetables. Throw any scraps into the broth!
• For the tofu (optional): Add the tofu cubes/rectangles to a bowl and toss them gently with cornstarch. Heat up the same skillet you used for the mushrooms with the vegetable oil (or avocado oil). Add the tofu to the pan - you may need to do this in 2 batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Sprinkle salt over the tofu and let it cook for 5 minutes over medium heat. Flip and repeat: sprinkle with salt and cook for 5 minutes. Remove the tofu from the pan and repeat the process with the second batch of tofu.
• For the tofu: Add all the cooked tofu to the pan, then add the soy sauce. Gently coat the tofu in the soy sauce so it's evenly covered and cook for 3-5 minutes. Set aside.
• Finish the broth: Grab a big bowl and strainer. Pour the broth over the strainer into the bowl so you can easily separate the scraps and broth. Discard the scraps (or compost them) and clean out the pot. Add the broth back to the pot. Bring the broth to a boil and cook the noodles (they cook really quickly!). Remove the noodles from the pot when finished. Do not discard the broth!
• For the eggs: add the eggs and water to a pot. Bring it to a boil, then turn off the heat and cover the pot. Let the eggs cook for 4 minutes for a soft egg and 7 minutes for a harder egg. Whatever you decide, use a timer and time from when you turn off the heat! Transfer the eggs to a bowl of very cold water and let them sit for 5-10 minutes before peeling. Meanwhile, combine the soy sauce and mirin in a meal prep container big enough to hold the eggs. Place the eggs inside and refrigerate.
• Put it all together: Add noodles and toppings (corn, carrots, cooked mushrooms, tofu, chopped scallions) to meal prep containers. Keep the broth and eggs separate. When you're ready to eat, heat up the broth and add all the toppings to the bowl. Pour the warm broth over the toppings. Add the egg and enjoy!

EASY MISO RAMEN WITH SOY MARINATED EGGS

Steps:

• For the eggs: Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the eggs, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook 6 minutes. Drain and run under cool water until cool, then peel.
• Combine the soy sauce, sake and sugar with 1 cup water in a medium bowl and stir to dissolve the sugar. Add the eggs and place plastic wrap directly on the surface to help submerge the eggs. Cover and refrigerate at least 6 hours and up to overnight.
• For the soup: Heat the sesame oil in large saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic, ginger and half of the scallions (reserve the rest for garnish) and cook, stirring often, until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the sriracha and stir, 30 seconds. Stir in the miso, then gradually add the chicken broth and 2 cups water, whisking. Simmer, partially covered, 10 minutes. Whisk in the butter and season with salt and pepper.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Slice the marinated eggs in half.
• Cook the noodles according to their package instructions. Drain and divide among 4 bowls. Divide the soup among the bowls and top with the egg halves, remaining scallions and seaweed. Serve immediately.

SOY-MARINATED RAMEN EGGS

Steps:

• Carefully prick the large end of the eggs with a needle or an egg piercer. This will allow the air to escape the shell to give you a smooth, rounded end to your egg.
• Bring plenty of water to boil and add 1 tBsp white vinegar. This will help make the eggs easier to peel, which is crucial to a perfect 'aesthetical' marinated egg. The marinade will cling to any imperfections in the egg otherwise, making them obvious.
• Carefully dip the eggs in the boiling water and boil for exactly 6 minutes. Timing is critical to keep a slightly runny yolk.*

MARINATED EGG FOR RAMEN

Steps:

• Combine water, rice wine, soy, mirin, and sugar in a medium bowl and whisk until sugar is dissolved. Set aside.
• Bring 1 quart of water to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Carefully lower eggs into water with a slotted spoon. Reduce heat to maintain a bare simmer.
• Cook for exactly 7 minutes and 30 seconds. Drain hot water and transfer eggs to a bowl filled with ice water.
• Cool for 3 minutes and then carefully peel eggs (the whites will be quite delicate).
• Transfer eggs to a bowl that just barely fits them all. Pour marinade on top until eggs are covered or just floating.
• Place a double layer of paper towels on top and press down until completely saturated in liquid to help keep eggs submerged and marinating evenly.
• Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours and up to 12. Discard marinade after 12 hours. Store eggs in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
