Ingredients
  

Eggs and Marinade

  • 1/2 cup soy sauce Kikkoman or similar brand.
  • 1/4 cup water Helps dilute the soy sauce.

Method
 

Boil the Eggs
  1. Put the eggs in a pot and cover them with cold water—about an inch above. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
  2. Once boiling, cover the pot and turn off the heat. Set a timer for 12 minutes.
  3. After 12 minutes, plunge the eggs into a bowl of ice water for 5 minutes.
Prepare the Marinade
  1. Mix together soy sauce, water, and sugar until well combined.
Peel the Eggs
  1. Gently crack each egg against a bowl's edge and roll it to loosen the shell.
  2. If difficult, peel under running water for easier removal.
Marinate
  1. In a shallow container or a zip-lock bag, place the peeled eggs and pour the marinade over them.
  2. Cover or seal and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight for best results.
Serve
  1. Serve in a bowl, alongside steamed rice or in ramen, or enjoy directly from the container.

Notes

These eggs last up to a week in the fridge, stored in their marinade. They are best when allowed to marinate longer.
