I DON'T EAT PORK. WHAT SUBSTITUTIONS ARE AVAILABLE?

WHAT IS A SOY MARINATED JAMMY EGG?
First, if you've never had a jammy egg? You are missing out! Jammy eggs are soft boiled eggs, spreadable enough to be traditionally spread on toast. With traditional ramen, soft boiled eggs are included and I didn't want to omit that ingredient.
To explain further, this recipe for jammy eggs are then marinated in a soy mixture that really adds flavor to the recipe. As a result, these marinated eggs are good alone, amazing with this recipe and the marinade can be used on additional dishes like rice and stir-frys!
