Soy Braised Eggs
Soy Braised Eggs
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
- 4 cloves garlic, diced
- 1 inch fresh ginger, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1 cup water
- 1/4 cup mirin
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced, for garnish
Instructions
- 1
Ensure your hard-boiled eggs are peeled. If you haven't hard-boiled them yet, place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat, then immediately remove from heat, cover, and let stand for 10-12 minutes. Drain, transfer to an ice bath, then peel once cooled.

Arrange the peeled hard-boiled eggs in a single layer in a medium saucepan or small pot. They should fit snugly but not be too crowded.

Pour the prepared soy sauce mixture over the eggs in the pot. Add the diced garlic and sliced ginger directly into the liquid around the eggs.

Bring the liquid to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Once simmering, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the eggs braise for 20 minutes, gently turning them occasionally to ensure even coloring and flavor absorption. The liquid should remain at a very gentle simmer, not a rolling boil.

Remove the pot from the heat. Serve the soy braised eggs warm, either whole or halved, with a drizzle of the braising liquid. Garnish generously with thinly sliced green onions.
