Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup mirin
  • 1/4 cup sake
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic, smashed (optional)
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger (optional)

Method
 

  1. Stir together the soy sauce, mirin, and sake in a bowl until combined.
  2. Add the sugar, garlic, and ginger, and stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
  3. Submerge warm peeled soft-boiled eggs in the marinade, weigh them down, cover, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

Notes

Soft-boil the eggs just before you make the marinade so they're still warm, which helps them absorb flavor faster. The marinade can be strained and reused once for a second batch within a week.
