How to Make Ramen Eggs?
If you going to make my chicken ramen noodles you need to know how to make ramen eggs. It takes some planning and waiting, but it is totally worth it. The flavor of the marinated egg goes so well with the ramen noodles. The golden, runny egg yolk is my favorite part.
Why should you make it?
If you want to make an authentic tasting ramen, then you need a soft- boiled egg on top. The hard part in this recipe is to plan in advance and marinate your egg for a minimum of two hours before making the ramen noodles. In this case the waiting is so worth it. The egg white gets infused with Asian flavors.
You can reuse the marinade once you done marinating the egg. You either can use it to marinate more eggs or other protein like chicken or shrimp.
How to make ramen eggs if you want more than one? Use the same method I described in the recipe but boil more eggs. Keep in mind that if you plan to make two eggs you should also double the recipe for the marinade.
Food safety.
Use only fresh eggs, bought from reliable source. When you consume runny egg yolks there is always slight risk of salmonella contamination. Although, it is very unlikely to get salmonella infection from store bought eggs. I would recommend serving fully cooked eggs to kids, older adults and immunocompromised people.
