INGREDIENTS

Regular medium-sized egg

METHOD

• Fill large pot with water and bring to 75°C (use a thermometer)  Carefully add shell-on eggs and cook for 13 minutes. 
• After 13 mins, eggs can be cracked and used straight away or placed in iced water to stop the cooking process where they’ll keep for another 2 days in the shell.

Simple. Adding an Onsen Tamago to ramen adds richness and authenticity and it's so easy
