Ramen eggs, also known as ajitsuke tamago (seasoned egg) or ajitama for short, are soft-boiled eggs with jammy yolks cured in a sweet and savory marinade. The marinade gently stains the outside of the eggs brown and deepens their flavor as they sit. The three-ingredient marinade works beautifully as is, but it can also be built up with aromatics like ginger, scallions or chiles. While they’re typically served as a ramen topping, I love the eggs straight from the fridge as a snack or alongside rice as well. They’re seriously addictive and always a crowd-pleaser.

Directions
Special equipment:
a pin- Poke a hole into the wider bottom part of each raw egg with a pin. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add the eggs and boil for 6 1/2 minutes.
- While the eggs boil, prepare an ice bath by mixing ice and water in a large bowl. In a quart jar or other airtight container, combine the tamari, mirin and 1 1/2 cups water.
- Transfer the eggs with a slotted spoon or spider to the ice bath and allow to cool completely, about 5 minutes. Peel and place the eggs in the tamari mixture. Use a paper towel to top the jar and cover with a lid. Refrigerate at least 8 hours or overnight. The eggs will last up to 2 days.
