Onsen egg with ramen noodles
An onsen egg is a silky, perfectly cooked egg in a light soy and dashi broth. The yolk is still soft with a custard like texture and the white is softly set. They are so called because of the temperature they are cooked at and you can cook these perfectly in the combi-steam oven.
