SOY SAUCE EGGS

Steps:

• In a small pot, add water, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar and Chinese five spice powder. Bring to boil and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Half-fill a large pot with water and bring it to boil. Add a small pinch of salt.
• Lower the eggs into boiling water carefully using a ladle and slow down the fire immediately. Simmer for 6 minutes (for softer texture) or 7 minutes (for harder texture). Stir the eggs in first two minutes.
• Transfer the eggs out to cold water and gently peel the shells after cooled down. (If you feel it is quite hard to handle, place the eggs under small running water and peel the shells.)
• Add soft boiled eggs in the marinating sauce, soaking for overnight (12-20 hours until well salted). Transfer them out when the eggs are well salted.
• Cut lengthwise and serve with rice or noodles.

EASY SOY SAUCE EGGS (SHOYU TAMAGO)

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Peel the shells from the boiled eggs. Rinse with water to remove any tiny shell fragments. Set aside.
• In a small pot, bring the soy sauce to a boil. Turn off the heat and add the boiled, peeled eggs. Using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon (so that the eggs don't become nicked), gently roll the eggs around, coating the eggs with the soy sauce mixture.
• Continue to steep the eggs with soy sauce until they reach your desired color or saltiness-1 to 2 minutes for a lightly salted flavor, 5 minutes or longer for well-salted flavor.
• Serve and enjoy.

SOY EGGS (SHOYU TAMAGO)

Steps:

• Place eggs in a pot. Cover with about 1 inch water. Remove eggs and stir vinegar into the water. Bring to a boil. Gently place eggs back in. Cover and cook for 5 minutes to soft-boil. Cook 3 minutes more for hard-boiled eggs. Prepare an ice bath in the meantime.
• Remove heat heat and immediately place eggs in the ice bath. Peel eggs carefully.
• Combine soy sauce, ponzu sauce, mirin, scallions, garlic, brown sugar, sesame oil, togarashi, and ginger in a container such as a jar. Mix well to ensure the sugar dissolves and the garlic breaks up.
• Place eggs in the mixture and seal. Marinate for 1 day. Eggs keep for 3 or 4 days after.

SOY SAUCE EGGS -- BENTO EGGS

Steps:

• Boil the eggs until they are just coagulated, and place them immediately in cold water. You will need to PEEL the eggs or crack them well, so the egg whites need to be firm enough to withstand this.
• Tap eggs gently all over to cover with cracks or peel them entirely. Cracking the eggs will give them a mottled look that is really beautiful, but peeling them will give them a consistent coating.
• Add the eggs to a pot that is small enough that when filled with 1 cup soy sauce, 1 cup water, 1 slice of ginger, and half teaspoon of five-spice powder, the liquid completely covers the eggs.
• Simmer over low heat for 25 to 30 minutes, then let steep for another 1/2 hour. Cool.
• If you have left the shells on, crack open the eggs and peel them.
• Slice into wedges and serve.

SOY SAUCE EGGS

Steps:

• 1) Medium boil eggs: bring a pot of water up to a rolling boil. Gently place 6 eggs into boiling water and set time for 7 minutes and 30 seconds. Prepare ice bath for eggs. When time goes off, use large spoon/ladle to place eggs into ice bath. Let eggs cool down for however long you need to in order to be able to peel the eggs. This can be done ahead of time.
• 2) In a medium bowl or tupperware, pour in soy sauce, mirin, rice vinegar, and water if you need it. Mix thoroughly.
• 3) Place peeled eggs into the marinade. The eggs should be completely submerged. If there are white bits peaking out, no worries. Those eggs will just need to be rotated through out the 2 hour time frame that we will let these sit in the soy sauce mixture.
• 4) Check on the eggs every 30-minutes to check on the coloring of the egg whites. Rotate the eggs that are sticking out a bit if you want even coloring.
• 5) Take the eggs out of the soy sauce mixture once they reach the coloring you want. In my experience, the darker the egg white, the more the soy sauce mixture has penetrated the egg. You do not want it to penetrate too much in order to maintain the integrity of your medium boil. Some recipes for soy sauce eggs will tell you do let them sit overnight, but you would need to use a very very VERY light soy sauce.
• 6) When the eggs are to your satisfaction - I like to leave mine in for two hours, rotating my eggs at the top every 30 minutes - take out the egg and serve! These are good in the fridge for up to 5 days. You can reuse the soy sauce mixture a few times as long as there are not any egg bits in it. If you need a snack or an appetizer, serve the eggs cut in half with a sprinkle of Vietnamese fried onions or the fried shallots you can get at Trader Joe's (kind of like French's Fried Onions but thinner) and some chopped scallions.

NONA'S SOY SAUCE EGGS - RAMEN EGGS

Steps:

• Place the eggs in a sauce pan. Cover with enough water so that eggs are submerged and bring the water to boil.
• As soon as the water comes to boil, turn off the heat and cover the pan. Let it sit 8 to 9 minutes. If you like less cooked eggs such as in ramen style eggs, let it sit 6 minutes only for softer yolk.
• Plunge the eggs in cold water and crack the shell all around and soak in cold water for 5 minutes or so (this makes it easier to peel). Shell the eggs under running water. I find peeling from the the pointed side of the egg first makes it easier to peel.
• Combine vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, and sesame oil in a small pan and heat to boiling. As soon as it boils, remove from heat and let it cool a bit. Place the eggs in a large plastic bag or a plastic container and pour the marinade in and marinate for at least 24 hours, moving the eggs around from time to time.
• Remove the eggs and cut in half length ways. Serve simply or top with condiments of your choice such as a bit of mayo, softened cream cheese, etc.
