Soy Sauce Soaked Egg

Why you'll love this recipe

• These are the perfect ‘make it and forget it’ eggs, featuring a creamy, custardy yolk and a deeply savory, marinated white.
• They are a meal-prep superstar, staying fresh and delicious in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
• They elevate a simple bowl of instant ramen or plain rice into a gourmet meal in seconds.

Key Ingredients

• Light Soy Sauce: Provides the salty base and savory depth for the marinade.
• Dark Soy Sauce: Used primarily for that beautiful, rich amber color on the outside of the egg.
• Sugar: Balances the saltiness of the soy sauce and helps the marinade "cling" to the egg surface.

✅Quick Tips: To get a perfectly centered yolk, gently stir the eggs in the boiling water for the first 2 minutes of cooking.

Key Steps

• #1: Boil eggs for exactly 6-7 minutes for that perfect, "jammy" ramen-style center. Immediately shock the eggs in an ice bath to stop the cooking and make peeling much easier.

• #2: Mix your soy marinade and ensure it’s completely cooled before adding the peeled eggs.

• #3: Marinate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) for the flavor to penetrate through to the yolk.
