Okay I saw this reel on instagram to marinate your eggs and so I had to do it and make ramen to go with it. Obviously.
It gave very specific instructions on how to boil your egg for the perfect jammy-ness. Bring the pot to a boil, put the eggs in all at once, leave it on high, after 6:30 mins exactly put the eggs in an ice bath. Also, he suggested I poke a tiny hole in the flatter part of the egg so that it would be easier to peel.
After 3 days, I could finally make ramen since I had to wait for the eggs to finish marinating!
To make the ramen, there was not one specific ramen recipe I could find that looked satisfactory to me. It either looked too boring, too complicated, I didn’t have enough ingredients, or the comments said it tasted bad. So after looking at a few different ones I’ll link here here and here, I ended up just putting together random ingredients I had that were mentioned in the recipes.
They all mentioned whisking an egg yolk, sriracha, kewpie mayo, and soy sauce together first. Then I made the broth with minced shallot and garlic, veggie stock and added fish sauce, rice vinegar, and more soy sauce. I also ended up adding some miso paste that I had in the fridge.
The eggs turned out PERFECTLY (maybe 10 seconds overcooked) and the ramen I would rate it 8/10 which is pretty good for my first time. Next time I would like to try to make tonkatsu ramen (made with pork bones) and maybe experiment with some different ingredients I didn’t have like coconut milk or soy milk or gochujang sauce.
