What do you do with ramen eggs? ›

We also like eating these delicious ramen eggs for a quick snack. You can add them to a salad or eat them with rice. I have a recipe for Instant Pot Chicken Congee (Chicken Jook) and love to top my rice porridge with a ramen egg (or a fried egg) and some cooked vegetables to make it a complete meal.

In a medium bowl, combine the noodles and the seasoning packet with 2 cups of water and microwave on high power until the noodles are cooked, 4 minutes. Stir the noodles and crack the egg on top. Microwave on high power until the egg white is just cooked through but the yolk is still runny in the center, 1 minute.

However, if you really want to reuse the marinade for another batch of eggs, we recommend using it within 5 days of making the marinade and only using it once more. Every time the marinade is used, the flavor becomes more diluted.

Ramen Eggs (Ajitsuke Tamago) are soft boiled eggs with a sweet, salty, and rich umami flavor. The yolk is perfectly soft and the flavors of the egg are SO delicious when topping your ramen, or any other way you want to eat them!

Ramen eggs (aka Ajitsuke Tamago or Ajitama in Japanese) are also known as soy sauce eggs or shoyu eggs. They are a soft boiled egg with jammy yolks in a rich marinade that contains soy sauce, water, mirin, and sugar. The soy sauce is responsible for coloring the egg whites brown and for giving it that savory flavor!

Some common flavourings that can be added to the steeping liquid are: dried shiitake mushrooms, dried sardines or anchovies, bonito flakes, kombu, and even onion and garlic. Ramen eggs will keep for around 4 days refrigerated in their liquid or out of it. The eggs will likely be fully cured after 2 days.

Slice a hard-boiled egg in half and add it to your ramen with seasoning and vegetables. Alternatively, whisk an egg until the yolk and whites are combined and pour it into your noodles to enjoy egg-drop ramen.

Ramen eggs are Japanese soft-boiled eggs marinated in a sweetened soy sauce mixture and served as a ramen topping. In Japan, ramen eggs are called ajitsuke tamago or ajitama.

Instead, whisk together sesame oil, peanut butter, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger and pour it over the hot noodles. Add chopped scallions and sesame seeds for even more flavor.

To make them, fresh eggs are boiled until waxy soft, quenched in ice water, and then soaked overnight in a Japanese marinade consisting of soy sauce, mirin, sake, and sugar. This provides the typical brown color of ramen eggs and a wonderful, salty umami flavor.
