Hard boiled eggs? No, thank you (we reserve those for maniacs). If you’re anything like me, you know that soft boiled eggs are where it’s at—especially when they’re marinated in a flavor-packed, ramen-inspired mix. I’m a huge ramen fan, but since I’m on keto, traditional ramen isn’t exactly on the menu. These ramen-flavored soft boiled eggs have become my go-to for crushing those cravings while keeping things low-carb. And the best part? They’re just as good hot or cold.
Why Ramen-Flavored Soft Boiled Eggs Are a Keto Game-Changer
Whether you’re keto like me or just looking for a snack that’s bursting with flavor, these eggs are a total lifesaver. The marinade soaks into every bite, and since they’re soft boiled, they have that perfect jammy yolk that melts in your mouth. Plus, they’re insanely easy to make, and the longer they sit in the fridge, the better they taste.
Ingredients:
- 4-5 large eggs
- 2 parts soy sauce (umami, here we come)
- 1 part rice vinegar (for a little tang)
- 1 part olive oil (healthy fats are key)
- A drizzle of sesame oil (adds a nutty flavor)
- 1 hefty spoonful of jarred garlic (because garlic makes everything better)
- Fresh chives, chopped (for a pop of freshness)
- Freshly grated ginger (zesty and perfect)
- A big scoop of crispy chili oil (as spicy as you like)
Instructions:
- Boil the Eggs: Drop your cold eggs straight into boiling water and cook them for exactly 6 minutes. This gives you that perfect soft boiled texture.
- Ice Bath: Immediately transfer the eggs to an ice bath to stop the cooking and make peeling easier.
- Peel: Carefully peel the eggs (pro tip: peeling them under running water makes it easier!).
- Marinate: In a mason jar, mix together 2 parts soy sauce, 1 part rice vinegar, 1 part olive oil, and a drizzle of sesame oil. Add in the garlic, chives, ginger, and a generous scoop of crispy chili oil.
- Soak & Store: Submerge your peeled eggs in the marinade. Pop them in the fridge, and let the magic happen. They’ll be ready overnight, but if you can wait a couple of days, the flavor gets even better.
- Enjoy Hot or Cold: These eggs are perfect straight out of the fridge, or if you prefer, you can warm them up slightly for a hot snack that kicks those ramen cravings to the curb.
