To make Spicy Sriracha Ramen Eggs, you need a few simple items. Here’s the list: - 4 large eggs - 2 tablespoons soy sauce - 1 tablespoon rice vinegar - 1 tablespoon Sriracha (adjust to taste) - 1 teaspoon sesame oil - 1 teaspoon sugar - 1 green onion, finely sliced (for garnish) - Toasted sesame seeds (for garnish) These ingredients come together to create a tasty and spicy treat. The eggs provide a great texture, while the Sriracha adds heat. The soy sauce gives depth, and the vinegar balances it all out. Sesame oil adds a nice nutty flavor. I love how these ingredients work together to elevate the humble egg! To start, bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Gently add 4 large eggs. Boil them for 6-7 minutes for soft-boiled eggs. If you want firmer yolks, add a minute or two to the boiling time. After boiling, you need to cool the eggs fast. Transfer them right away to a bowl of ice water. This ice bath stops the cooking and helps keep the yolks soft. Let them cool for about 5-10 minutes. Once the eggs are cool, it’s time to peel them. To make peeling easy, gently tap the eggs on a hard surface. Roll them slightly to crack the shell. Start peeling from the wider end, where the air pocket is. Set the peeled eggs aside. Now, let’s mix the marinade. In a bowl, combine: - 2 tablespoons soy sauce - 1 tablespoon rice vinegar - 1 tablespoon Sriracha (adjust this to your spice level) - 1 teaspoon sesame oil - 1 teaspoon sugar Stir these ingredients until the sugar dissolves completely. Place the peeled eggs in a shallow container or a resealable bag. Pour the marinade over them. Make sure the eggs are fully submerged. For the best flavor, let them marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or overnight if you want a stronger taste. When you’re ready to enjoy your spicy ramen eggs, take them out of the marinade. Slice each egg in half. For a pretty touch, sprinkle with finely sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds. This adds crunch and flavor to your dish. To change how spicy your ramen eggs are, you can adjust the amount of Sriracha. Start with one tablespoon, then taste the marinade. If you want more heat, add more Sriracha, one teaspoon at a time. This way, you can find the right balance that suits your taste. Boiling eggs can be tricky. To avoid cracks while boiling, gently place the eggs in the pot. Use room temperature eggs instead of cold ones. You can also add a pinch of salt or vinegar to the water. This helps keep the eggs intact during cooking. You can make your marinade even better by adding more ingredients. Try adding garlic or ginger for extra depth. You can also mix in a splash of lime juice or a bit of chili oil for a unique twist. Experiment and find what flavors you love most! {{image_2}} Try different hot sauces to change the taste. You can use chili garlic sauce for a punch. If you like sweet heat, try a honey sriracha mix. For a smoky flavor, consider chipotle sauce. Each option brings a unique twist to your ramen eggs. You can add eggs to many ramen dishes. They enhance the meal, making it richer. Try using them with chicken or pork ramen. You can also mix in tofu for a different texture. Eggs boost both the flavor and protein content of any bowl. If you want a non-spicy version, swap Sriracha for a mild sauce. Try using hoisin sauce for sweetness without heat. You can also use soy sauce alone for a classic taste. This way, even non-spicy eaters can enjoy these tasty eggs. Store your marinated eggs in airtight containers. Glass or plastic containers work well. You can also use resealable bags. Make sure to remove as much air as possible when sealing bags. This keeps the eggs fresh and flavorful. Marinated eggs can last up to one week in the fridge. If you want the best taste, eat them within three to five days. Always check for any off smells before eating. If they smell bad, it's best to throw them away. Freezing ramen eggs is an option, but it may change their texture. If you choose to freeze them, crack the eggs open and marinate the whites. Avoid freezing the yolks, as they can become grainy. Place the whites in a freezer-safe container and label them. Use them within two months for the best taste. When ready to enjoy, thaw them in the fridge overnight. The best marination time for ramen eggs is at least 2 hours. This time lets the eggs soak up all the flavors. For a stronger taste, you can marinate them overnight. The longer they sit, the deeper the flavor gets. You can check them after a couple of hours to see if you like the taste. Yes, you can use eggs from the pantry. Just make sure they are fresh. Room temperature eggs are safe to use if they are not past their expiration date. If you have any doubts, do a quick water test. Place the egg in water; if it sinks, it’s fresh. If it floats, it’s best to toss it. If you want to skip Sriracha, you can use soy sauce and rice vinegar. Add a bit of chili oil for some heat. Another option is to use a bit of garlic or ginger for flavor. You can also mix in some honey for a sweet touch. This way, you still get tasty ramen eggs without the spice.
