Frequently Asked Questions
How long should I boil an egg for a jammy ramen yolk?
A standard large egg straight from the refrigerator requires exactly 7 minutes (420 seconds) in boiling water, followed by an immediate ice water bath.
Why should boiled eggs be placed in an ice bath?
The ice bath immediately halts the cooking process, preventing rubbery whites and creating steam separation between the albumen and shell for effortless peeling.
