Make the hard boiled eggs by boiling the eggs in hot water for 10 minutes. Crack and peel the shell off the eggs. Set aside.

In a small pot, bring the water to boil. Add the soy sauce, dark soy sauce and sugar. Transfer the eggs into the soy sauce mixture. Turn off the heat and let it steep in the mixture for an hour before serving.

I Just deviled them today it's pretty great

I wonder if you could devil them?  Has anyone tried?

Can you re-use the sauce for a couple weeks? (for multiple batches of eggs) or is this a no no.

I had not heard of dark soy sauce, so I did some internet research &amp; now I’m REALLY confused about what to use! What I read said that most supermarket brands were a type of dark...what? Do you have some brands to recommend? I have both regular &amp; less sodium Kikkoman soy sauce for general everyday use.

I've been making the soy sauce eggs for years. I often add sugar, lemon, or anything that sounds interesting. I will also drop a few into the deep fryer for a different and unique texture and taste....

It's probably best to go by observing the color in the photo here and if necessary extend the soaking/steeping time for desired result. After an hour, my eggs didn't have enough soy flavor and color. It's a simple fix.
