Soy Eggs
Soy Eggs
These soy sauce eggs are an amazingly tasty snack - or breakfast. I usually try to have a few ready to go in the fridge at all times.
Prep Time 20 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes
Servings 6 eggs
Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 6 Tbsp water warm
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 2 Tbsp rice vinegar
- 3/4 cup soy sauce preferably low-sodium
Instructions
-
Bring a large pot of water to a boil
-
Whisk together the water and sugar in a medium-size bowl to dissolve the sugar
-
Stir in the rice vinegar and soy sauce and mix to combine
-
Carefully put the eggs into the boiling water and cook for just under 7 minutes. Fill a large bowl with cold water and ice. When the eggs are done, transfer them to the ice bath to stop them from cooking
-
Once the eggs have cooled down (should be about 5 minutes), peel them in the water
-
Transfer the eggs to the bowl with the soy mixture and marinate in the fridge for two to ten hours
-
To serve, cut the eggs in half lengthwise and season with salt and pepper
Recipe Notes
You can save the soy sauce marinade for a second round of eggs, though you'll want to let the second batch marinate a little longer since the flavors won't be quite as strong.
