Ramen Eggs (Japanese Marinated Eggs)

Ramen eggs (Ajitsuke Tamago) are yummy marinated soft-boiled eggs. They're so beautiful and delicious. This recipe is very easy and mostly hands-off, while waiting for the eggs to cook, chill, and marinate. I highly recommend preparing the soft-boiled eggs with an Instant Pot but included stovetop instructions as well.
