Notes
The vinegar in the boiling water will actually make the eggs easier to peel.
You really only need soy sauce, eggs, and mirin to make this recipe, but the optional ingredients just gives the recipe an extra boost.
Boil 6-7 minutes for a custardy and rich yolk. Boil longer for a more set yolk.
Let the Eggs cool down completely in the ice bath, before cooling. It makes it a lot easier to peel.
Let the eggs fully marinate for the yolks to become opulent like in the video.
The eggs only need to marinate for 2 hours or less. The longer it marinates, the darker the eggs will become.
Put a paper towel on top of the marinating eggs to prevent a little circle of egg white from not marinating, if wanted. This will make it so that every part of the egg is marinating.
The marinate can be re-used marinate more eggs, meat, and tofu.
