Hmmmm. Marinated eggs for ramen.... @Lotherio what do you think? 
Saying the quiet parts out loud since 1996.
I think that what people are trying to get with sous vide is called onsen tamago which I don't think is the same thing as the marinated eggs for ramen. I could easily be wrong, though, having only had ramen in America.
Alas, my kitchen is not very big. Trying to find a way to store air fryer, instant pot, and the countertop convection oven.

That does sound good. I'll reduce water to what i like sometimes and drop eggs right on in. I did do oyster and srirachi. I want to try that with egg now. Heh, ramen is versatile. It's so easy to add good stuff too.
@Lotherio I was insistent. I wanted one in my old place (even less space) and just never got to it. But I'm excited by all the options.

We were given one by friends. It is fab!

I got mine as a Christmas gift from my brothers a couple years ago. It really is great for limited space.
Lord, the air fryer makes chimichangas a revelation, though.
@Auspice Super crispy and delicious. Not a soggy bit to be found, not at all greasy.. so good.
I'm a big, fat dummy. The container I use for sous vide is 12 quarts, not 12 gallons.
So I'm pretty sure an awful lot of the cooking I do could be done in the 8 quart liner for an Instant Pot. You would probably want a smaller immersion circulator than the one I use, but the one I linked up above which is made for the Instant Pot is almost certainly in that category.
So if you've already got the pot it wouldn't take up very much more of your kitchen space to do sous vide, at least in a limited fashion.

Compliments of the air fryer guru I live with.
