Ingredients
- 6 whole eggs
- ½ cup soy sauce
- ½ cup mirin
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon dashi powder
- ½ cup sake
Instructions
- Add all sauce ingredients to a saucepan and bring to a boil.
- Simmer for 1-2 minutes and remove from heat. Let the marinade cool fully.
- Heat the water in the bottom of the steamer until it is boiling. Place the eggs in the steamer basket and place over the water. Cover with the lid.
- For a nice jammy center, I steam the eggs for 8 minutes. If you like the center especially soft, you can reduce the cook time to 7 minutes. If you prefer hard boiled, cook them for 12 minutes.
- While the eggs are steaming, fill a large bowl with ice and then fill ¾ full with water.
- Once the eggs are finished steaming, immediately add them to the ice water bath and let them sit for 20 minutes to cool.
- Gently peel the shell from each egg.
- Once the marinade is cooled, pour it over the top of the eggs in a medium sized bowl or container (or bag).
- Let it sit in the fridge for 24 hours. Drain the marinade (reserve it for your next batch if you'd like!).
- Serve the eggs whole or slice them in half for serving.

Notes
- When peeling the eggs, make sure you are peeling the membrane as it will make it much easier for the shell to slide off.
- I recommend removing them from the marinade after 24 hours as they will continue to soak up the flavor.
- You can use this marinade for another batch also - so be sure to save it! Use it for up to 3-5 days.
