Texture and flavor: A little soy sauce and honey give the outside of a hard-cooked egg a sweet-salty edge. Slice one over rice or eat it cold on a snack plate.
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- ½ cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
- ½ cup cold water
- 1½ tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp unseasoned rice vinegar
How to make it
- Lower eggs into gently boiling water and cook until the whites and yolks are firm, about 11–12 minutes. Cool promptly in ice water and peel.
- Whisk soy sauce, water, honey and vinegar in a small container. Add eggs, cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight. Turn once if they aren’t covered.
- Lift out the eggs, discard marinade and serve cold or as a topping. Keep refrigerated and use within 3 days of cooking.
Make it work for you
Easier: Start with store-bought peeled hard-cooked eggs and follow their use-by date.
Sensory swap: Start tasting at 4 hours for a milder outside.
Storage: Marinate in the refrigerator. Discard the marinade and use the eggs within 3 days of cooking.
Ingredients and allergens: Egg and soy. Regular soy sauce often contains wheat.
At the counter
A small container helps the marinade reach more of each egg. If the eggs stick out above the liquid, turn them once while they chill.
