Shio Ajitama Ingredients

Method

Shio Ajitama Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Eggs

    Bring a pot of water to a gentle boil. Carefully lower the eggs into the boiling water and cook for 6-7 minutes for a soft, runny yolk. Adjust the time if you prefer the yolk firmer.

  2. 2

    Ice Bath

    Once cooked, transfer the eggs to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Let them cool for about 5-10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, mix together soy sauce, mirin, water, salt, sugar, and dashi stock until well combined.

  4. 4

    Peel the Eggs

    Once the eggs are cool, gently peel the shells off, being careful not to damage the egg whites.

  5. 5

    Marinate the Eggs

    Submerge the peeled eggs in the marinade mixture. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight for optimal flavor.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Slice the marinated eggs in half and serve as a topping on ramen or enjoy as a snack.
