Ramen Eggs with Maggi Sauce

Delicious alternative to marinated eggs in a fraction of the time!

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Maggi Sauce (Viet style/Thanh Diu)

Instructions

  • In a saucepan, bring water to a boil (you want enough water to submerge the eggs fully). Once boiled, use a slotted spoon/ladle to gentle lay the eggs into the boiling water.
  • Set a timer for 8 mins (I like it on the jammier side). Ensure the water is completely covering the eggs.
  • Optional: you can turn/stir the eggs for a more even cooking but I'm usually multitasking with a 100 other things I don't bother.
  • Once the 8 mins has passed, take out the eggs and put them in an ice bath for 10 mins (set a timer). The ice bath makes them easier to peel (separates them from the membrane) and somewhat freezes the yolk)
  • Once 10 mins have elapsed (or longer if you got tied up doing something else), use a spoon to gentle crack the eggs all around. I like to do this to all the eggs first before attempting to peel any, I feel letting the water soak through a bit helps with peeling.
  • Use a pointed/pointer spoon to geltle peel the eggs and place them in your dish. Generously pour/squirt the Maggi sauce over the eggs. Depending on what type of bowl you use, you may need to rotate your eggs so they marinade evenly.
  • Let the eggs marinade for at least a couple of hours before serving. I generally like to wait an hour so the garlic has a chance to mellow out and the marinade soaks in. Store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
