    Soy Sauce Eggs

    Soy Sauce Eggs or Ramen Eggs, Ajitsuke Tamago, or as I affectionately call them, any time eggs, are marinated eggs that you often see on top of a bowl of ramen.

    They’re sweet but salty with a jammy yolk that goes well with everything! I love having a bunch of these in my fridge and ready to go since they go great with ramen, rice, as a salad topper, or just by themselves as a snack. Meal prep these soy sauce eggs and sub them in for your regular hard-boiled eggs throughout the week as a way to change things up!

    You can make these ramen eggs a few ways – with a super runny yolk, with a jammy yolk, or if you prefer, a hard yolk. In this post, I’ll be sharing how to make it with a jammy yolk. I cover how to make the perfect hard boiled eggs in this linked post if you prefer a different yolk. Or if you prefer to make hard-boiled eggs in your air fryer, I’ve got a post on that too!

    What You Need To Make Soy Sauce Eggs

    • eggs
    • soy sauce — use low sodium soy sauce.
    • mirin — mirin is a Japanese sweet rice wine, if you are unable to find it, you can try rice vinegar with extra honey.
    • water
    • brown sugar — I use light brown sugar but you can use regular or dark brown sugar as well.
    • garlic

    How to Make Soy Sauce Eggs

    • In a pot, add in your (room temperature) eggs and fill it with water, submerging your eggs. Bring the pot to a boil and once it’s hit its boiling point, set a timer for 4 minutes.
    • After 4 minutes, quickly remove your eggs from the boiling water with a slotted spoon and place them in an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
    • While the eggs are cooling down to peel in the ice bath, mix together the soy sauce, mirin, water, brown sugar, and grated garlic in an airtight container.
    • Once the eggs are cool to touch, peel the eggs and place the eggs in the mixture to marinate overnight (or if you’re in a hurry, 2 hours)
    • Remove the eggs from the marinade the next day and place them in an airtight container to be enjoyed throughout the week! No reheating is necessary.

    Can I re-use the marinade for more eggs?

    Yes! Similar to my mayak eggs recipe, I’ve reused the marinade for the eggs up to 4 times! Just make sure you are keeping the marinade in an airtight container. I like to use this tall square one from Amazon.
