Directions
Make ahead jammy soy eggs
- In a medium-sized pot bring to a boil enough water to cover eggs. When boiling, gently lower eggs and cook for 7 minutes. Transfer to a bowl under cold running water for a couple minutes until cooled enough to handle. Set aside in a Mason jar or small sealable container.
- In a small sauce pan, combine 1 ¼ (310 ml) water, soy sauce, mirin, rice wine vinegar and smashed garlic and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Cool slightly and pour over jammy eggs. Let sit at room temperature for one hour, then refrigerate. Eggs can stay in the marinade up to 2 days, depending on your taste, then removed from marinade and stored in an airtight container for up to 3 more days.
Cheesy ramen
- Gather your ingredients.
- Place noodles in a dish and pour in enough boiling water to cover. Cover and let sit a few minutes until noodles are softened and can be easily separated, about one minute less than ramen package instructions.
- In a small bowl, dissolve cornstarch in 1 tbsp (15ml) cold milk. Set aside.
- In a small pot, over medium heat, bring milk to a simmer, whisk in cornstarch mixture and stir until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in shredded cheese, cream cheese and reserved seasoning from ramen package until melted.
- Strain ramen noodles and add to cheese sauce, mixing well.
- Transfer to a serving bowl along with jammy Soy Eggs and garnish as desired.
