Notes
- Use fresh eggs as they have a firmer egg white, which helps them hold their shape better during boiling and marinating.
- Immediately transfer boiled eggs to an ice bath after cooking to stop the cooking process and make them easier to peel.
- Make sure the eggs are evenly coated with the shoyu marinade. This helps achieve consistent flavor throughout.
