Soy-Sauced Soft Boiled Eggs (溫泉蛋)

Jammy, umami, melt-in-your-mouth kind of boiled eggs. One of the regulars in my weekly meal prep rotation, and it’s soooo easy to make!

---

Ingredients:

• Eggs (as many as you want to make!)

• 1/2 cup of mirin (find it HERE)

• 1/2 cup of soy sauce

• 1 cup of water

Instructions:

1. Take eggs out of fridge and let them sit until they’re at room temperature

2. Boil water in your kettle or on stovetop before putting eggs in to cook

3. Set a timer for 6 minutes and 20 seconds as you gently place your eggs into the already boiling water

4. While the eggs cook, prepare a big bowl and fill it with ice and water

5. Once your timer goes off, immediately and carefully (!!) transfer the eggs into the ice bath with a slotted spoon

6. Allow the eggs to sit in the ice bath until all the ice melts and eggs are cold to the touch

7. Peel the eggs, then transfer them into a large container with lid

8. Pour in mirin, soy sauce, and water

9. Let eggs soak in flavoring for an hour, turning sides every once in a while to make sure the entire surface area gets soaked

10. Enjoy with rice or noodles - especially in ramen!
