Soy Sauce Eggs -- alarmingly simple and habit forming, these sweet and salty marinated eggs elevate the simplest side dish to meal mode. We keep a jar of them in the fridge for snacking and easy weeknight meals at almost all times.
By: Emily Stoffel
Makes: 6-8 eggs
Ingredients
6 tablespoons hot water
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoons black vinegar
½ cup soy sauce
2 star anise
6-8 large eggs, soft-to-medium-boiled + peeled (see note)
Instructions
Combine all ingredients but eggs in a large mason jar and stir until sugar is dissolved. Add peeled eggs and allow to marinate at least 2 hours in the fridge. Keeps for up to 3 days in the fridge.
Notes
For perfect soft-to-medium boiled eggs, my favorite method is 3 mins in the Instant Pot + quick release and immediately transfer them to an ice bath for a mostly gooey center. They peel like a dream, too.
