I've tried to make ramen eggs before in two other posts, but this was a slight variation on them from @alexawhatsfordinner and I thought I'd give it a go for a creative protein snack. These are called drug eggs because they are supposedly addictive, but for me they were just okay. The recipe called for the liquid to cover the eggs, and it didn't so I added more water and it's possible that was the issue because I definitely wanted them to have more flavor.
On the plus side, I finally figured out how to make the perfect jammy eggs from this recipe so that was a win I'll take!!
Ingredients:
6 large eggs
3/4 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup white sugar
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp gochugaru or red chili flakes
1 tbsp sesame seeds
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 jalepeno, finely diced
1 spicy red pepper or habenero, thinly sliced
Directions:
1. Soft boil the eggs by bringing a large pot of water to boil then gently lowering each egg into the pot. Cook for 6-7 minutes for jammy yolks and carefully transfer to an ice bath to cool completely before peeling the eggs.
2. Combine all remaining ingredients except eggs, then add eggs and make sure they are fully covered.
3. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
4. Serve with marinade if desired.
