Steps
1
OPTIONAL: Combine any extra seasoning ingredients (sugar, garlic powder, smoked paprika, or furikake) with the salt.
2
Add half of the salt into a non-reactive container. Use a spoon or tablespoon to make shallow indents in the salt. Leave at least one inch of space around each indent.
3
Separate the egg yolk from the egg into different containers.
4
Gently add the egg yolks into each shallow indent.
5
Carefully sprinkle the remaining salt on top of the egg yolks until they’re fully covered.
6
Cover it with a lid and place it in the fridge for at least five days.
7
Preheat the oven to 160 °F. Remove yolks from the fridge. Carefully remove the egg yolks from the salt cure. They should be opaque and easy to hold but still delicate.
8
Rinse them under cold running water to remove excess salt.
9
Place them on a rack with a sheet pan.
10
Put the sheet pan into the middle rack of the oven and bake for one hour or until the egg yolk has turned solid.
11
Let the egg yolks cool before serving. Grate on pasta, ramen, and more!
