Step 1 of 6
Ramen Noodles with Marinated Boiled Egg
Bring a pot of water to the boil and lower the egg in gently. Cook it for exactly 6½ to 7 minutes — any longer and the yolk sets.
Step 2
Lift it straight into a bowl of iced water for 3–5 minutes to stop it cooking, then peel it carefully.
Step 3
Mix the soy sauce for the marinade with the mirin, the sugar and 4 tbsp of water, submerge the peeled egg and leave it in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Step 4
Bring the 2 cups of water to the boil and season it with the soy sauce for the broth, the chili sauce, the salt and the black pepper.
Step 5
Add the ramen noodles and cook them to the packet timing.
Step 6
Tip the noodles and broth into a bowl, halve the marinated egg and set it on top so the yolk runs into the broth. Scatter the sliced scallions over.
