Description

Deliciously marinated soy sauce eggs, or Shoyu Tamago, enhance your favorite dishes with a rich, savory flavor. Soft-boiled and soaked in a flavorful soy sauce mixture, these eggs are perfect as a topping for ramen, salads, or enjoyed on their own.

Ingredients

Scale

6 room temperature large eggs

3/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce

2 teaspoons sesame oil (optional)

1 Tablespoon honey or any sweetener of your choice

2 Tablespoons rice vinegar

1/4 cup warm water

Instructions

In a pot, bring water to a boil. Carefully add the eggs and boil for 6-7 minutes for a soft yolk or 9-10 minutes for a firmer yolk.
Once cooked, transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool for about 5 minutes. Peel the eggs gently.
In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, rice vinegar, and warm water until combined.
Place the peeled eggs in a resealable bag or container and pour the marinade over the eggs, ensuring they are fully submerged.
Seal the bag or container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight for the best flavor.
Remove the eggs from the marinade, slice in half, and serve as desired.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding spices or chili flakes to the marinade. The longer the eggs sit in the marinade, the more flavorful they will become.
