Hello all!!! I just wanted to make a quick post dedicated to marinated eggs! They are delicious and are perfect for soups or just for snacking! And they are so easy to make!
Here is what you will need (minus the platypus! :P ):
-1 egg
-3 Tbsp. soy sauce
-3 Tbsp. mirin
-Ziplock bag
-Mini strainer (or anything to get the eggs out of the boiling water)
First, you have to fill a pan half full of water and bring it to a boil. Gently place the egg (or eggs) in the pan using a mini strainer or spoon.
Then, allow the egg to boil for about 20 minutes if you want a hard boiled egg. Let it boil for a bout 10 minutes if you want a more soft boiled egg.
Next, run the egg under cold water to cool it down and place it into a bowl filled with cold water and ice. Carefully crack the egg and while continuously dipping the egg into the water, gently peel off the shell.
Then, take a paper towel and pat the egg dry and set aside.
Sit the ziplock bag on the counter and add the soy sauce and mirin and swish it around until they are mixed. Now place the egg in the bag.
Next, use a tie of some kind to keep the egg submerged in the marinade and place it in the fridge. The longer you marinade, the tastier it will be so I suggest that you let it marinade overnight for the best result!
After you take it out of the fridge, remove the egg, lightly dab it dry and either cut it in half, or leave it as is!!! AND IT'S DONE!!!
My all time favorite use of the marinated egg is as a yummy topping for miso ramen! <3
I hope you liked my post! I can't wait to see what you come up with!
The possibilities are endless!!!! ^-^
