  • Total Time: 14 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Eggs

  • 4 eggs

Homemade Teriyaki Sauce

  • 1 cup soy sauce
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp grated ginger
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 1/2 cup mirin
  • 8 tbsp water

Garnishes

  • Roasted sesame seeds (to taste)
  • Sliced green onions (optional)
  • Oil spray (for air fryer ramekins)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Teriyaki Sauce: In a saucepan, combine the soy sauce, sugar, grated ginger, minced garlic, mirin, and water. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat and cook until it thickens to a syrup-like consistency, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
  2. Simmer Sauce Gently: Once thickened, reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer without boiling. This prevents the sauce from becoming too reduced or bitter while cooking the eggs.
  3. Poach the Eggs in Sauce: Carefully crack the eggs directly into the simmering teriyaki sauce, taking care to keep them separated so they do not stick to each other.
  4. Cook Eggs with Lid On: Cover the pan with a lid and allow the eggs to poach in the sauce for about 3 minutes. This ensures the egg whites set completely while the yolks remain soft and runny.
  5. Remove Eggs: Using a spoon, very gently lift the eggs out of the sauce to avoid breaking the yolks.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the poached eggs with roasted sesame seeds and optionally, sliced green onions for added flavor and texture. Serve immediately while warm.
  7. Air Fryer Version - Prepare Ramekins: Spray each ramekin lightly with oil spray to prevent sticking, then place them into the basket of the air fryer.
  8. Cook Eggs in Air Fryer: Crack one egg into each prepared ramekin. Set the air fryer to 360°F (190°C) and cook for 6 minutes and 30 seconds to achieve a poached texture.
  9. Remove and Plate: Carefully remove the ramekins from the air fryer as they will be very hot. Use a spoon to gently lift the eggs out of each ramekin and place them on plates or toast slices.
  10. Add Sauce and Garnish: Drizzle the homemade teriyaki sauce over the eggs, and finish with roasted sesame seeds and green onions as garnish. Serve immediately for best flavor.

Notes

  • Ensure the teriyaki sauce simmers gently to avoid burning or over-thickening.
  • Keep eggs separated in the sauce to prevent sticking.
  • The air fryer method is a convenient alternative that yields tender poached eggs without using a stove.
  • Adjust sugar in teriyaki sauce according to taste preference for sweetness.
  • Use fresh ginger and garlic for the best flavor in the sauce.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy runny yolks and warm sauce.
