how to make PERFECT Ramen Egg! 

Thank god for this recipe. I’ve tried a truly sad number of soft boiled egg instructions with frustratingly inconsistent results. It might sound melodramatic, but I’ve seriously tried on and off for 6 years. This is the one recipe that I’ve used 3 times now with perfect flavor, perfect texture, and that perfect liquid egg yolk with fully cooked whites and a pealable shell. My embarrassingly long search is finally over! Hell yes!

In the food world, there are very few things sexier than a golden runny yolk in a soft boiled egg.

The MOST requested video since I published ramen recipe!! So here it is guys, give this video thumbs up!! WHOOTWHOOT~! Get there written recipe ->seonkyounglongest.com/ramen-egg

I lived in Japan for many years, married to Japanese and also became friends with some Ramen shop owners. The eggs are prepared slightly different (your way is acceptable too). If you notice Japanese ramen eggs white is much darker. They don't usually put eggs in boiling water for fear of cracking unless it is hotspring egg. Using room temperature egg place in pot and put enough water to cover 1inch above egg, turn on heat and bring to boil and let cook for 1 or 2 minutes, remove from heat and cover. depending on how runny or firm you like the yolk let sit covered for 8 - 16 minutes. Place egg in ice water to stop cooking process and peel. in sauce pot, put in your sauce ingredients, turn on low heat and stir to mix ingredients together, once you see a little steam forming put egg into pot with the sauce and increase heat to medium-high. You will want to move the pot around in little circles this will allow the egg to stir around and get equal coating and also keep the sauce from boiling over. keep moving the pot until the eggs get to a color brown that you like. Eggs that are leftover place egg and sauce in airtight container and eat within 7 days (which is not hard) we also enjoy this egg as a snack and eat it with kewpie mayo....yummm...enjoy. I love your cooking too and have helped me with finding substitute ingredients after I moved to america.

I personally don't like eggs unless they are soft boiled and on/in Ramen, how ever I have never been able to master a perfect one. So trying this! Thank you

Those eggs are uncomfortablely orange and I love it.

Thank you Seonkyoung! I love boiled eggs. Hard boiled for pickling and salads, and soft boiled for everything else. Like you, I’ve found that adding the eggs to boiling water and then shocking them in ice water will always give me the egg that I am looking for. Six minutes for a soft egg, 8 for eggs that I’m going to pickle and the can in a water bath, and 9 minutes for salad and pickled eggs that don’t get canned. For those wondering about water temperature, I have found that cooking the eggs at a good rolling boil works best for me. I don’t want it at a slow rolling boil, but not a full, hard boil either. I usually bring the water to a hard boil and add the eggs. The temperature will drop, but as long as I do not add in too many eggs at one time the temperature will be back up to where I want it very soon. If I have a lot of eggs to do, like for Easter, I make sure to do them in batches. I also add vinegar to the water as a little insurance if I mess something up (drop one instead of placing it gently, or boiled too hard), or one had a micro crack that I didn’t catch. I try not the boil an egg that is cracked, but some have tiny cracks that can’t be seen. One of the biggest reasons that eggs crack when cooked in boiling water, as opposed to using one of the heat the water and set the pot aside methods, is the air pocket in the egg rapidly expanding and cracking the egg. I combat this with an egg piercer. I received one as part of a electric egg cooker kit, but you can find egg piercers online, or maybe in a cooking store. I pierce the eggs just before boiling still in the carton that they came in. That usually ensures that the air pocket is at the top of the egg where I pierce them. It’s kind of neet watching the air bubble out after placing the eggs in the water. For the eggs, I almost never boil fresh eggs. Eggs that I’m planning to boil are purchased fresh, and left out on the counter for a day or two to age them before I boil them. I might put the eggs in the fridge after aging if I’m not ready to boil them yet, but I always try to use aged eggs for boiling. *NOTE: the USDA does not recommend aging store bought eggs,* but it’s what I do. Anyway. Thank you again Seonkyoung!

Does this girl have a cookbook? I feel like I need one. I've spent the last 2 hours watching cooking videos from you, keep up the good work. :)

Just love it. I didn’t know that the whole process takes about one day. That’s a lot, but at the end of the day it pays off. Congrats and keep going !!!

Made my first ramen egg in the Instantpot! 3 minutes, release pressure and put directly into the ice bath!!! Eggs peeled easily and put them in the sauce and it was absolutely amazing!!!! Always have ramen eggs available!

Oh my goodness! That is perfection! Can't wait to try it!

I’ve tried this multiple times and it either came out runny or hard boiled. But today I did it and it came out PERFECT 🧡 if you don’t get it right the first time it’s okay, it just takes practice!

Looks so yummy! You got me craving ramen with all these recent videos! Btw, I learned if you store eggs with pointy side down, it also helps with centering the yolks. Anyway, thank you for this recipe & you are looking super cute as always! ❤️

I was just looking through your channel about a week ago for this recipe!!. I was so happy to see this pop up today. Love learning from you, and can't wait to try making these.

I’ve been looking for the perfect ramen egg recipe. This looks like it’s it! Can’t wait to try it

They look so pretty 😍 Seonkyong I admire everything you use in your kitchen as I do you and all you outfits and beautiful personality. One other thing I really like is your cutting board, was wondering where you got it. If you don’t mind? Thank you 😊

Thanks for posting this. I cooked an egg for my ramen and it was just a tad too done. Now it should turn out good.

I need this for a long time ago!! Thank you so much for sharing!!

I am so excited to try out this recipe, I love the egg in my ramen SO MUCH and making them at home will be heaven on earth. Thank you!

I just wanted to dress up a packaged ramen soup but didn’t know how to get that perfectly boiled egg. I did a search and this video came up. It’s great! Good visuals and excellent verbal directions. I know nothing about Japanese cooking, only that I love eating Japanese cuisine. My hubby and I retired and moved away from the San Francisco Bay Area last year where we had many excellent ethnic food restaurants and where I learned to love Japanese cuisine. But we moved to a rural area in Washington state, and there isn’t a Japanese restaurant anywhere nearby. So I am Subscribing to learn a few things about delicious Japanese cuisine. Thank you!

i love this eggs. falled in love with this kinds of eggs when we went to japan last year.

Perfect

Omg this looks so goood.. you are really inspired me to cook at home more

Thank you. I’m making these today.

Just tried your method and I nailed it. I would never boil eggs the way I used to before. Thanks for the useful tip.

Saw one of your shows with my daughter. I wasn't too sure about you at first. That is until the end of the show where you sampled your chicken thighs and drank beer and belched. Now I love you and look forward to to trying your dishes, much success.

Thanks for this recipe. Received so many compliments from my friends with the outcome of the eggs.

I love these eggs they are not too runny and just look perfect and the yolk appeared jelled truly amazing

Reminds me of Chinese tea eggs but without the marbling from keeping the shell on

Kindest sounding cooking tutorial I’ve ever watched

watchen over a dozen ramen egg guides and this is the best one

We love your videos and you here in Iran 🇮🇷

Thank you! You helped me cook my favorite dishes 😋❤️

I love yolks that are that hue, they taste quite rich, yet I'm not a fan of runny yolks so this recipe is perfect. Now if only I could find a way to make a pan-fried egg without a runny or overcooked yolk...

Superduper delicious Ramen eggs!🐔🍲🥗🌺Ramen noodle &eggs🍲 are my ultimate comfort food, which I make every week if not daily...

THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!!! 💗 My favorite part of the ramen is the ramen egg!

Thank you for all your videos! They are very soothing and entertaining and educational!

I love this cooking tip!! Seonkyoung, you are so beautiful and amazing! You're so creative and authentic in you're dishes. I love all of your videos!! ❤

This was easy and yes it makes any ramen: from homemade to cup of noodles look and taste better

I learned this a few years back I was always taught cook from cold

Addicted! Because of the foods and your personality. Keep on the good work.

That yamen in the intro got my tummy growllllllin

I'm running to my kitchen right now🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Loved the video. Short and sweet but very informative. Thank you! 🤗

3 days? Need a 1 minute ramen egg recipe 😂

Still early🙌🙌 Those eggs looks delicious and beautiful. Thanks for sharing...

Perfeggtion Please forgive me..

Seonkyoung! Can you do a PORK BUN recipe?! 🤩😍🙌

I made this! And im eating it right now! Its super good! Im getting so full and i only ate half! I usually eat the whole thing and im still hungry but this is wayyyyy better

Yessss definitely trying this. In my area we have a couple of ramen and pho restaurants and this is pretty much the only way I like eggs. Scrambled eggs make me nauseous, hard boiled eggs i can only eat the whites and throw away the over cooked/disgusting (imo) powdery "yolk", etc. I can force down over easy eggs (aka dipping eggs where I'm from), but I love when eggs aren't cooked so long that the center becomes chalk but yet also not super runny where you need toast or something to soak it up. The yolk almost becomes like this super creamy "gel" and it's amazing. I've tried other recipes including baked eggs that claim to come out like this depending on how long you cook them for but it never happens. I definitely want to try this, it sucks that the only time i can enjoy eggs is when I go to a ramen/pho shop.... I don't always want the soup, I just want an egg that doesn't make me vomit!

Ive never seen an egg like that. It’s so beautiful

You are adorable and this looks like a great soft boiled egg recipe! Thank you! ^^

Best tutorial ever

When the video teaching you how to cook one component of ramen is so long that I could’ve made two bowls of ramen by now. Edit: In all seriousness, I’m going to go try this though. It looks delicious.

Looks Mouthwatering . Thanks for sharing . Love the colors in the bowl .

I raise my own chickens and I find I have alot of trouble cooking eggs with softer textures because it retains their flavor more, I'm used to store bought eggs with almost no taste at all so when I have that really strong flavor from home raised eggs well it's not bad but I have to find ways to incorporate the flavor with others to really enjoy it. I find ramen to be a good avenue for that.

Omg yum! Been trying to boil eggs like this ever since I came back from Japan and ate the delicious soft boiled egg sandwiches from 7 eleven lol. I didn’t know they soft boiled it, I always wondered why the yolk didn’t come out bright orange. Thanks for this! Will try it again

It’s bedtime, and you’ve made me SO hungry! I can’t wait to try making these eggs. Thank you for sharing.

Found your channel today and I absolutely LOVE IT !!!! We already bought all the ingredients to make the Beef Pho and the Chicken one !!! Super excited to see more of your videos !

This is so good. I always come back and use your recipe. 💕😋

fishing wire works great too!

Wow I was just looking for a recipe for ramen eggs. You always have what I'm looking for.

Love this video. I had just started to make some Ramen and turned on you tube and looked what came up. Good timing.

Instead of using plastic wrap try using a paper towel, if you use plastic the egg can come out with a white spot bc it isn't hitting the mixture. The paper towel will soak up the mixture and help color the top of the egg

Seonkyoung, I just love your videos so much! You are so cheerful and sweet and your outfits are always adorable!

Omg shes so adorable ❤

I made your Shoyu Ramen recipe this weekend and my attempt at a soft boiled egg was not successful. I will definitely try this, thank you!

Where do you get eggs with such dark orange yolks? I haven't seen them that dark orange outside of Japan. Absolutely beautiful eggs. Thank you
