Step-by-Step Instructions for Ramen Eggs
  1. Boil the Eggs: Bring a pot of water to a rapid boil. Add vinegar if desired. Gently place eggs into boiling water and cook for 6 minutes. Remove promptly.
  2. Cool the Eggs: Transfer eggs to an ice bath to stop cooking. Let soak for 15 minutes. Tap each egg to crack the shell for easier peeling.
  3. Prepare the Marinade: Combine soy sauce, water, mirin, and sugar in a bowl. Whisk until sugar dissolves.
  4. Marinate the Eggs: Place peeled eggs in the marinade, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover or rotate eggs for even marination.
  5. Final Steps: Marinate eggs in the fridge for at least 8 hours. Ready to slice and serve over ramen or enjoy as a snack.
