Ingredients

1 cup water

1/2 cup soy sauce

1/2 cup sake

1/2 cup mirin

1/4 cup sugar

12 eggs

water for boiling

water, cold for cooling

Directions

Heat the water, soy sauce, sake, mirin and sugar in a sauce pan until the sugar has dissolved and cool completely.

Fill a large pot with water, bring to a hard boil, add 4 eggs and cook for 6 minutes before transferring them to a large bowl filled with cold water until completely cool. Repeat for remaining eggs.

Peel the eggs and place them in a large ziplock bag with the marinade, seal and let marinate overnight in the fridge.

Notes

Note: You can marinate for less time for less flavour, or more time (up to 2-3 days) for more flavour.

Tip: Use leftover marinade from chashu pork which will also have all of the pork juices to add even more flavour!
