How to Make Nona's Soy Sauce Eggs Ramen Eggs

Place 6 large eggs in a saucepan.
Cover the eggs with enough cold water to submerge them completely. Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat.
Once boiling, immediately remove the pan from the heat, cover, and let sit for 6-7 minutes for soft yolks (ramen style), or 8-9 minutes for firmer yolks.
Transfer the eggs to a bowl filled with ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them sit for 5 minutes.
Gently tap the eggs all over the shell to create small cracks.
Peel the eggs under cold running water, starting from the pointed end for easier peeling.
In a small saucepan, combine the following marinade ingredients: 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 teaspoon sesame oil.
Bring the marinade to a boil over medium heat. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Place the peeled eggs in a resealable plastic bag or airtight container. Pour the cooled marinade over the eggs, ensuring they are fully submerged.
Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours, flipping the eggs occasionally for even flavor.
Remove the eggs from the marinade and slice in half lengthwise.
Serve immediately on ramen, in salads, or as a delicious snack. Garnish with mayonnaise, sriracha, or your favorite toppings!
