FAQs
1. How long should I cook the eggs for the perfect onsen egg consistency?
Aim for 6-7 minutes in simmering water for a runny yolk. Adjust cooking time based on your preferred yolk consistency.
2. Can I use any type of instant noodles?
Yes! Any type will work, but those with a thinner noodle will cook faster and complement the eggs best.
3. What if I don't have soy sauce or mirin?
You can substitute soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos. For mirin, a touch of rice vinegar or even a bit of extra sugar can work.
