8 oz Pork tenderloin
Preheat oven to 350°F / 180°C.
When the oven is preheated, roast the pork tenderloin until the pork has an internal temperature registered at 160°F with a meat thermometer. This can take between 20 - 30 minutes depending on the thickness of the tenderloin piece.
Once it’s cooked, remove from the oven, cover and let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.
Eggs
Follow the recipe instructions for ramen eggs, to make ramen eggs for this recipe. The eggs require at least 2 hours or upto overnight marinating.
2 ramen eggs
To make hard boiled eggs (with runny yolks) - Bring a pot of water to a boil over medium high heat (with enough water to completely cover the eggs).
Add some salt or vinegar to the water. Lower the eggs into the water gently. To prevent the eggs from cracking, remove the pan from the heat, and lower the eggs gently. Once the eggs are in the pot, return it back to the stove.
2 ramen eggs
Cover with a lid and allow the water to come to boil. Set the timer to cook the eggs for exactly 6 minutes (set a timer). Reduce the heat to a simmer.
When the 6 minutes are up, remove the eggs and place them in a bowl with iced water OR under cold running water for a few minutes.
Crack and remove the egg shell carefully. Keep the eggs covered until you are ready to serve.
