Soft-boiled eggs are marinated in soy sauce, coated in panko breadcrumbs, and air-fried to make Japanese-style ajitama with crisp outsides and runny centers. They also make a snack that can be served cold in a picnic basket.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Boil the eggs

7 min

Boil the eggs in water for exactly 7 minutes, then cool them in ice water and peel.

2

Marinate the eggs

20 min

Marinate the peeled eggs in a mixture of soy sauce and water in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.

3

Coat the eggs

10 min

Coat the marinated eggs in flour, beaten egg, and breadcrumbs, in that order.

4

Air-fry the eggs

8 min

Arrange the coated eggs in the air fryer basket and cook at 190°C / 375°F for 8 minutes, until crisp. If you do not have an air fryer, bake them in a preheated oven at the same temperature for 14 minutes.

Reminder

Do not extend the egg-boiling time, or the centers will no longer be soft-boiled. Allergens: contains gluten (breadcrumbs, flour), egg, and soy.
