Shoyu Egg Recipe
Description
The Shoyu Egg Recipe starts by hard boiling eggs for 10 minutes, then peeling the shells. A marinade made from water, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and sugar is heated to boiling, and the peeled eggs are placed in it as it cools off heat to infuse flavor while steeping for an hour. The soy sauce blend provides a balanced salty and slightly sweet taste, coloring the eggs evenly.
The eggs maintain a firm white and creamy yolk texture, achieved by precise boiling and rapid cooling. Marinating after cooking allows the flavors to penetrate without overcooking the eggs further.
These eggs suit serving as snacks, additions to rice dishes, or part of bento boxes. They benefit from even coating in the marinade to achieve consistent flavor throughout every egg.
Using fresh eggs helps maintain a sturdy white during boiling and peeling. Transferring eggs to an ice bath promptly after boiling stops cooking and eases peeling.
Ingredients
- 6 egg hard boiled
- 2 cups water
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari, Japanese
- 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sugar
Instructions
- 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.
Notes
- Use fresh eggs for firmer whites that better withstand boiling and peeling.
- Immediately place boiled eggs in an ice bath to stop cooking and simplify peeling.
- Ensure eggs are evenly coated with marinade to develop consistent flavor throughout.
