Ingredients

6 large eggs
Vinegar (optional for boiling eggs)
½ cup soy sauce (light sodium)
¼ cup water
¼ cup mirin
2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Instructions

Bring a pot of water to a boil and gently place the eggs in. Boil for 6 minutes.
Remove the eggs and immediately put them in ice water to cool completely.
In a container, mix the soy sauce, water, mirin, and sugar until dissolved.
Once the eggs are cool, crack and peel them, then place in the marinade.
Let the eggs marinate for at least 8 hours, preferably overnight. Turn occasionally if not fully submerged.
Enjoy your ramen eggs in ramen, salads, or as a snack!

Notes

Use fresh eggs for best results. Marinating longer enhances flavor; adjust based on preference.
