Ajitama Preparation

1. 1

   Boil the Eggs

   Place the eggs in a pot and cover them with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, cover the pot, turn off the heat, and let the eggs sit for 6-7 minutes.

2. 2

   Prepare the Marinade

   In a separate bowl, mix together the soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and water until the sugar is dissolved.

3. 3

   Cool and Peel the Eggs

   After the eggs have finished cooking, transfer them to an ice bath to cool for about 5 minutes. Once cooled, gently peel the eggs.

4. 4

   Marinate the Eggs

   Place the peeled eggs into a container and pour the marinade over them. Make sure the eggs are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

5. 5

   Serve

   Remove the eggs from the marinade, slice them in half, and serve on top of ramen or as a snack.
