Question 6

What are ramen eggs (ajitsuke tamago)?

Accepted Answer

Ramen eggs, also known as ajitsuke tamago, are marinated soft-boiled eggs that are commonly used as a flavorful topping for ramen dishes. Typically, the eggs are boiled until the whites are set but the yolks remain slightly runny. After boiling, they are marinated in a mixture of soy sauce, mirin, and sometimes sugar or honey, which imparts a rich, savoury flavour and a deep, golden colour to the eggs. These eggs add a delightful texture and taste contrast to a bowl of ramen or can be enjoyed on their own.

Question 7

How can I make ramen eggs (ajitsuke tamago) healthier without sacrificing flavour?

Accepted Answer

To make ramen eggs healthier while maintaining their flavour, consider using low-sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos to reduce the sodium content. You can also substitute sugar with natural sweeteners like maple syrup or honey, which offer a more wholesome sweetness. Additionally, use less soy sauce in the marinade and incorporate spices like ginger or garlic to enhance the flavour without adding extra sodium. For a lighter version, avoid adding sesame oil to the marinade and opt for a lower-calorie sweetener.

Question 8

Can I make ramen eggs (ajitsuke tamago) ahead of time?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can prepare ramen eggs (ajitsuke tamago) ahead of time. Once marinated, they can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. This makes them a convenient option for meal prepping or adding to dishes throughout the week. Simply prepare the eggs and allow them to marinate as directed, then keep them in an airtight container in the fridge until you're ready to use them.

Question 9

How long can I keep ramen eggs (ajitsuke tamago) in the fridge or freezer?

Accepted Answer

In the refrigerator, ramen eggs can be stored for up to one week. If you want to keep them for a longer period, you can freeze them, though this might affect their texture. To freeze, place the eggs in a freezer-safe container or ziplock bag. When ready to use, thaw them in the refrigerator overnight. Note that the freezing process might make the yolk slightly less creamy.

Question 10

How can I reheat ramen eggs (ajitsuke tamago) without losing flavour?

Accepted Answer

To reheat ramen eggs (ajitsuke tamago) without compromising their flavour, gently warm them in hot water rather than using a microwave. Place the eggs in a bowl of hot water for a few minutes until they reach the desired temperature. Avoid microwaving as it can overcook the yolk and alter the texture. This method helps preserve the creamy consistency of the yolk and the integrity of the marinade.

Question 11

How can I make perfect ramen eggs with a creamy yolk?

Accepted Answer

For perfect ramen eggs with a creamy yolk, boil them for exactly 6 to 7 minutes. This timing ensures that the whites are set while the yolks remain soft and slightly runny. After boiling, quickly transfer the eggs to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Marinate them for several hours or overnight to allow the flavours to penetrate while keeping the yolks creamy and smooth.

Question 12

What is the best method for peeling ramen eggs without damaging them?

Accepted Answer

To peel ramen eggs without damaging them, start by gently cracking the eggshell on a hard surface and then peel the shell under cold running water. The cold water helps to loosen the shell and makes peeling easier. Be gentle to avoid breaking the delicate white and losing the creamy yolk inside. Using a slotted spoon to handle the eggs can also help prevent accidental damage during peeling.

Question 13

How should I adjust the cooking time for different sizes of eggs?

Accepted Answer

When cooking ramen eggs, the size of the eggs will affect the cooking time. For standard large eggs, boil for 6 to 7 minutes for a creamy yolk. If using extra-large eggs, add an additional 1 to 2 minutes to ensure the whites are set and the yolks are slightly runny. Conversely, for medium eggs, reduce the boiling time by 1 minute. Always start timing once the water returns to a boil after adding the eggs.
