I made tare the other time, added garlic, ginger, brown sugar to mine and let the eggs there over a week. THESE BABIES GOT FULLY CURED Y'ALL. My god, it was such a treat. Perhaps not suitable for peeps who don't want the ramen eggs to be too intense, but for those that do, I'm tellin ya, they don't spoil in there, they just become BETTER. STRONGER. POWERADE.

I love ramen, too. But, I have rarely eaten at home because I’ve not known the best way to prepare it. I’m 74, and generally don’t like to cook much anymore. But Ramen, as a soup, seems fairly easy, and is always delish, so I’ve subscribed to see what other things I can learn about preparing a good bowl of delicious ramen. Thank you for this video. Even if I don’t prepare the eggs for ramen, you’ve taught me how to boil my eggs to the perfect finish!

Good video man. I also add kombu to my ajitsuki tamago tare. Or if I have been cooking chashu I will reuse that broth for ramen eggs. I was wondering when I lived in Japan. So many ramen shops yokes are deep red color. How do they make it?

@5AMRamen 3 жыл бұрын

Yes, kombu is great too! So much umami.. Right on - once you have that tare, it's great for the chashu, eggs, or even other elements. As to the red egg yolk color, I'm told it could be the diet of the chickens - outside of Japan it might be more oats and barley, whereas here it's more corn or even carrots. I wonder if that's the case.

@dansgun 3 жыл бұрын

I was just commenting the other day that you probably never cook because of the endless variety of shops you can easily pop around to and wondered if I would still cook if I were in your situation. My method, if it may save someone some headaches.... Keep cartons of eggs on their side in the fridge to center yolks.Punch the aformentioned hole. 6 Eggs straight out of the fridge and 1 cup water. 5 minutes in the Instant Pot on high. Fast steam release. Ice bath. The most consistently perfect soft boiled eggs I have ever made. The marinade is basically char-shu so you can just roll on from the eggs to the pork belly. Now if i can just get the hang of hand pulling my noodes....I'll be in business.

@5AMRamen 3 жыл бұрын

Definitely the case! So much wonderful food (ramen included) around us here and it's all affordable. But every so often I do like to be reminded of how much work goes into these things by doing it myself too. Haha, making those ramen noodles though... Very convenient egg recipe - consistently delivering great ramen eggs! Yes, that tare is so versatile and if you're already making it, great for both the chashu and eggs. Let me know when you open your ramen shop 😃

Awesome video!! Question: Once I take the eggs out of the marinade, do I reheat them in boiling water (30-60 seconds)? Or put the eggs directly from marinade into ramen? (After cutting them in half of course.) Thank you for your time, Frank!

@5AMRamen Жыл бұрын

Hey hey! Thanks for the question and sorry for the late reply. You can reheat them in boiling water but just at the risk of them becoming less soft-boiled and more hard-boiled. Sometimes just placing them in the ramen soup (topping placement) is enough to get them warmed up, while ensuring that they're still jammy on the inside.

I wanna go a bit fancy and use the mirin I justbought with the soy and garlic and mushroom, but I'm worried if it risks tasting too foreign with my parents as we aren't very used to japanese dishes and all the fishy kind of ingredients (they don't like the fishy smells at all lol) - does the combination of soy, mirin, (no sake,) water, some boiled ginger and mushroom work? Would you suggest adding some sugar or no? Thank you!!

Ok so lemme just say this....if you add a tablespoon full of white vinegar while boiling eggs....you DO NOT NEED AN EGG POKER...just unnecessary steps imo....another gadget you DO NOT NEED. This trick works for all shell food items...including shrimp crabs and all crustaceans. It does not flavor the items at all....it releases the meat from the shell. That is all. A very old crabber man taught me this maybe 30 years ago...I use it every time and it's a miracle the difference between with and without! Don't believe me....TRY IT AND COMPARE.
