Soft-Boiled Egg Ingredients

Method

Directions for Soft-Boiled Egg

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ice Bath

    Fill a bowl with ice and cold water to create an ice bath.

  2. 2

    Cook the Eggs

    Bring a pot of water to a gentle boil. Carefully add the eggs and cook for 6-7 minutes for a soft, runny yolk.

  3. 3

    Transfer to Ice Bath

    Using a slotted spoon, transfer the eggs to the ice bath immediately to stop the cooking process. Let them sit for about 5-10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Peel the Eggs

    Gently tap the eggs to crack the shell and peel them under running water for easier removal.

  5. 5

    Marinate the Eggs

    In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, mirin, and sugar. Place the peeled eggs in the mixture and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2 hours, for enhanced flavor.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Cut the eggs in half and serve them on top of ramen or as a side.
