Ajitama Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Boil the Eggs

    In a pot, bring water to a rolling boil. Carefully lower the eggs into the boiling water and cook for 6-7 minutes for a soft yolk. Adjust time to preference.

  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 Marinade

    In a bowl, combine soy sauce, mirin, water, sugar, ginger, and green onions. Stir until sugar dissolves.

  4. 4

    Peel the Eggs

    Gently tap the cooled eggs on a hard surface and peel them under running water to make it easier.

  5. 5

    Marinate the Eggs

    Place the peeled eggs in the marinade. Ensure they are fully submerged. Marinate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight for the best flavor.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Once marinated, slice the eggs in half and serve them atop ramen or as a snack.
