Soy Sauce Eggs Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Combine soy sauce, mirin and kombu in a small bowl.
• Gently add egg yolks to the soy-sauce mixture, cover and place in refrigerator to cure for six hours, up to two or three days. The yolks will firm up and darken over time, becoming quite hard in three days.
• Serve 1, 2 or 3 yolks per person, over steamed short-grained rice.

Steps:

• Place eggs in a small saucepan of boiling water and cook for about 6 minutes. Remove eggs from the saucepan with a slotted spoon and refresh under cold running water. Peel eggs and set aside.
• Meanwhile, combine soy sauces, water, sugar and ginger in a small heavy-based saucepan and bring to the boil for 1 minute. Reduce heat, add eggs and simmer, covered with a parchment paper cover for 1 hour, turning occasionally. Remove saucepan from stove and set aside, covered, for 30 minutes, turning eggs occasionally.
• Remove eggs from the saucepan, reserving 1 tablespoon of the braising stock for garnish. Discard remaining stock.
• To serve, cut each egg in half lengthways and arrange on a platter. Spoon over reserved braising stock.

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.
