Ingredients

Units Scale

Ramen Egg Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) tamari
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) sake
  • 1 tsp fish sauce
  • 1 Green onion
  • 1-2 tsp Furikake spice mix

Sriracha “Caviar” Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup (180 ml) sriracha
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) water
  • 2 grams agar agar
  • 2 cups (480 ml) vegetable oil
  • Buttered toast cut into thin spears for egg dunking

Instructions

  1. Pour vegetable oil into a tall glass or wide mouth pitcher and place in the freezer for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Mix sriracha, water and agar agar into a sauce pan and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes.
  3. In a pot, bring salted water to a boil and gently add your eggs. Reduce heat to low and cover for 5 minutes. Remove eggs with slotted spoon and dunk in ice water bath.
  4. Using a pipette or eye dropper, release small drops of sriracha mix into chilled vegetable oil. Let stand in oil for 2 minutes before removing with a slotted spoon. Occasionally stir the sriracha mixture in your sauce pan between caviar creation to avoid hard film from forming.
  5. Mix tamari, sake and fish sauce into a small bowl and set aside.
  6. Cut open the tops of your soft boiled eggs and top with tamari mix, furikake, green onion and sriracha caviar.

Notes

  • To store additional caviar, place in an air tight container with a little remaining oil and store in the refrigerator for up to a week.
