Ingredients

Marinade
- 6 tablespoon soy sauce regular
- 2 cups water cold
- ½ teaspoon Chinese five spice
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar white
- ½ tablespoon rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar or white vinegar
Instructions
- Bring a small pot of water to boil on medium-high heat. Gently lower room temperature eggs into the boiling water. Reduce to medium heat for a rolling boil. Set a timer and boil for 6:30 minutes. For hard boiled eggs, boil for 11 minutes.
- Prepare an ice bath for your eggs. Once the eggs are cooked, remove and transfer to ice bath to stop the cooking process.
- Carefully crack and peel your eggs with the back of a spoon. Place them into a small deep container or mason jar.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the marinade ingredients in a small pot. Bring it to boil on medium-high heat and then simmer on low heat for 5 minutes uncovered. Remove the broth off heat to cool down completely.
- Pour the room temperature marinade over the eggs.
- Cover and seal the container. Store in the fridge to marinate for at least 6 hours or overnight for best flavour. When ready to enjoy, remove as many eggs as desired and slice into half with a sharp knife to enjoy chilled.
