Step 1

In a large bowl, mix soy sauce, mirin, and dashi stock or water.

Step 2

To prepare the eggs, add 3 tbsp of vinegar to a pot of water, bring it to a simmer.

Step 3

Once the water is simmering (not boiling), gently add in the eggs, set the timer to 7 minutes for the perfect yolky egg. If you prefer your egg yolks more cooked, cook them for another 1-2 minutes.

Step 4

After 7 minutes, add the eggs into an ice bath and let them rest for at least 3 minutes.

Step 5

To help the peeling process, crack the front and back of the eggshell using a pointy teaspoon. Using the tip, slide the teaspoon into the layer between the egg and the shell, and peel off the shell.

Step 6

Add the eggs into the marinade and let it rest for at least 3 hours or overnight.
