There's nothing grosser than a "jammy" egg.

Cracked off the top of the egg and spooned it out over toast. He made his eggs this way, but didn't peel the shell. Once you get used to having them on hand, you’ll never go back.Įditor’s note: This recipe was originally published in March 2017.įor decades, my grandfather made one soft-boiled egg and ate it spooned over a slice of whole wheat toast. These eggs will keep in a sealed container in the refrigerator for three days, so making a batch is good planning. This will also make them easier to peel and eat. Just remember: The eggs will continue to cook if you don’t cool them immediately in a bath of cold (preferably ice) water. You can take them out of the fridge and lower them (carefully!) straight into the pot. Notably, in this soft-boiled egg recipe, you don’t have to wait for the eggs to come to room temperature before cooking them. Lowering eggs into boiling water allows you to more precisely track how long they’re exposed to the heat. And, as former BA editor Sarah Jampel proclaims, “there’s no lazier, more impressive snack than aioli-topped jammy eggs.”
#1 HOUR TIMER DUCK HOW TO#
While many a treatise has been written about how to master this skill, all it takes is boiling water and six and half minutes-that’s the magic number for foolproof, perfect soft-boiled large eggs with cooked-through whites and firm but jammy yolks that you can add to bowls of ramen, salads like this one with rye berries and peppery greens, or toast. These glorious ramen eggs will warm up in a bowl of ramen without overcooking the jammy egg yolk.Topping practically any dish with a perfectly cooked egg makes it that much better, which is why we have this soft-boiled egg recipe memorized ( for hard-boiled eggs, look over here). These will taste fantastic straight out of the fridge, at room temperature or even slightly warmed up too! Refrigerate is if you are going to keep it for longer than a few hours.

This is to dilute the saltiness of the soy sauce because some may find it too salty. Let the ramen eggs marinate for a minimum of 2 hours, but you can even let them marinate for 12 hours upto 24 hours too! If you do want to marinate it longer, I recommend maybe adding a little water to the marinade. Allow the heated mixture to cool to room temperature before you add the eggs. If you want to add spices like, garlic, star anise and chili etc, you will have to heat the soy sauce mirin mixture to infuse the flavors. Since this is a no cook marinade, you can just place all the ingredients in a container and stir to mix. Otherwise the marinate will very clearly highlight the raggedy surface. You need to make sure the egg surface is smooth for ramen eggs for purely aesthetic reasons. I do this under running water because it just makes it easier to peel! Then starting from the bottom (the wider end) of the egg I start peeling the shell a little at a time.
#1 HOUR TIMER DUCK CRACK#
The easiest way I peel the eggs, is to gently crack the egg shell from top to bottom. Once the eggs are cooked, dunk the eggs in an ice bath (you can also use ice water or running cold water too) so that they stop cooking immediately.

This will reduce the chance of the eggs bumping into each other and cracking. Return the pot back to the heat and cook the eggs on a low simmer. I bring the water to a boil and then momentarily remove the pot from the heat (to make the bubbles subside) and gently lower the eggs into the water. I prefer to boil my eggs for these ramen eggs, in already boiling water (hot water method). Notes on making this recipe Cook the eggs
