Take out egg yolks at the desired time (4, 8, or 24 hours) depending on your egg preference. I love to take it out at 8 hours or 24 hours and put it on top of hot white rice.

Make soy marinade (pick one method):

Interesting recipe. I made the simple marinade but only had superior dark soy sauce to use. I marinated for 24 hours. I think that was a bit of a mistake. It was still an interesting flavor. I think I would have preferred a shorter marinade time and definitely regular or low sodium soy sauce. I’ll definitely be trying it again. It cured what I was craving.

Soy sauce eggs recipe

eggs (ideally room temperature eggs)

vinegar

garlic (2 large, grated)

0.2 oz ginger (grated)

tbsp cooking sake

1.25 tbsp coconut brown sugar

tsp toasted sesame oil

½ tbsp toasted white sesame seeds

Garlic chili sauce

Bring water to boil

If the eggs are refrigerated, set them by the kitchen counter for 15 minutes to remove the chill. In the meantime, bring a pot of water to boil.

Simmer the eggs

Lower the heat to simmering (about medium to medium-low heat), add a splash of vinegar, then carefully and slowly lower the eggs into the water. Simmer over medium to medium-low heat for 6 minutes. This will give you a solid egg white with a running egg yolk center.

Watch out stovetop temperature

Pay attention to the stovetop heat as you want the eggs to be simmering (not boiling) throughout. You should see small bubbles circling around the eggs so adjust the stovetop heat as you go. Do not walk away.  You also want to gently move the eggs around so that the egg yolk remains in the center and the eggs are cooked evenly.

Shock in cold water

After 6 minutes, immediately shock them into a bowl of ice water. As soon as the eggs are no longer piping hot, use a back of spoon to gently tap the egg shell to remove it.

Soft boiled eggs:

Combine egg sauce marinade

In a 5-cup (1.1 liters) container with a lid, combine the ingredients from garlic to sesame seeds and stir well. Add the eggs to the marinade, making sure they are evenly coated. If they aren’t fully submerged, rotate them a few times throughout the marinating process to ensure all sides absorb the flavor. You can also lay a clean paper towel over the eggs—the towel will soak up the liquid and help keep them coated.

How long to marinate the eggs

Seal the container and refrigerate for at least 24 hours before eating.

Soy egg marinade:

Storage info

It’s best to eat the eggs within 3 days after marinating.

Storage:

What to do with leftover egg sauce marinade

You can bring the sauce to a boil, let it cool to room temperature, and add a fresh new batch of boiled eggs to marinate. You can only reuse the marinade once and after that you should discard it. You can also drizzle the marinade over blanched vegetables, rice, or boiled noodles, too.

To reuse the marinade liquid:

Absolutely delicious! A real success. The sauce is still I. The fridge and I will us me it to smother the rice tomorrow!
