How To Make Soy Sauce Eggs - Marion's Kitchen

[@HappyLife3]

Japanese viewer here. Replace mirin with sugar. Hon mirin is basically sweet sake but a lot of people in Japan use mirin fumi which is alcohol free (so pretty much sweetened water) and it’s usually cheaper. Great video!

[@ruvin7023]

I used to work at a japanese restaurant, mirin is so freaking expensive.

[@Marionskitchen]

Great tips! Thank you!!

[@linhfphung7867]

Would honey work as an alternative?

What ratio would you recommend for Soy Sauce to Sugar?

[@mikeyd946]

This technique is absolute PERFECTION! My boiled eggs would always rip and tear after peeling making them look all raggedy. Quite literally make two eggs just now and they turned out PERFECT!!! Thank you!!

[@slackmartin7610]

Another tip for geting the eggs covered in the marinade is to simply put a piece of paper over them, the marinade will travel through the paper and cover the top of the eggs. Works every time 👌

[@HelixNeblua]

Wait.. a actual piece’o paper?

[@slackmartin7610]

@@HelixNeblua a paper towel to be exact

[@bartolomeonew]

exactly, and you can use much less liquid

[@surf101-]

You can actually turn the eggs over half way through marinating. Also, check out how Koreans make these! The marinade is so much better.

[@theelectricant98]

You are such a great chef and teacher, I really appreciate your calm demeanor!

[@sentino68]

The spoon to remove the membrane is brilliant!

[@slick7909]

This trick is super useful wow

[@cozyvamp]

I always love her tops! Also, pleased/impressed to see that she gives the bit about keeping the eggs moving in the boiling water in the beginning to help center the yolk. Peeling technique also top marks. This method should work for almost anyone. Thanks!

[@careychitrena1888]

I hope so! Eggs are one of my favourite things in the world but they are my arch nemesis (peeling)!

[@rhiatargoed]

This recipe was super helpful with the boiling eggs part, I’m usually terrible at getting the yolk to be soft but it worked very well, they taste so good, I did change the marinade to a more tea egg flavour with cinnamon, cumin, ginger, garlic, rice vinegar, black and green tea, dried chillies, star anise and a couple other spices. Goes very well with rice porridge!

[@fauziahnager5956]

Made these twice. The 1st time was a test. The 2nd were for a picnic. Absolutely love them Marion!

[@careychitrena1888]

I agree! I could taste the egg when she was experiencing it and I was just thankful that I have two eggs waiting for me in the kitchen right now❣️ (maybe the herb I consumed earlier? 😉)

[@bradleyharting6038]

Egg perfection when you're wanting a softer yolk and peeling shell with ease. Just tried your method, and worked perfectly. So happy! Thank you! I topped the split eggs with a spattering of Fly By Jing Zhong Sauce, a carnival for the mouth...sooooo good!!!

[@pollyrolfe2327]

Just made these for my partner so fingers crossed he enjoys them 🤞 the eggs peeled perfectly even the ones I left to cook hard for myself peeled to perfection. What a great little tip! Will be using it for all boiled egg projects from now on

[@JohnandMalie]

I needed this video a month ago when I tried to make ramen. Tried making these eggs a month ago using another recipe which said to use a zip lock bag. Flavour was good but the egg was patchy white and brown 😂(egg white wasn't uniformly brown from the 'marinade'). Thanks for sharing Marion! Super easy. (btw we used your recipe for the chashu - turned out insanely delicious 👍)

[@Marionskitchen]

Awesome!!! So glad you tried the chashu. I love that one! I also have had the patchy colour problem! Hence the bowl and the plate :-) I hope my version works out for you!

[@amritadas2922]

Yesterday I tried making soy eggs and failed miserably, but today watched your video, got the inspiration to make it again, and OMG it turned out the best ! ILYSM !

[@paulinecauton6031]

I cannot peel eggs, even hard boiled ones, for my life. I always end up with small pot holes all over where small shell shards scoop up egg bits.The extra steps of poking the hole and using the spoon is brilliant! After making these ramen eggs a couple of times, this is the first time I achieved a smooth surface on all of them. Thank you!

[@Kai-rc8cj]

You are giving me hope!!!!

[@FabiJenneke]

What also helps is immediately after taking the eggs out of the boiling water, hold them under cold running water for a few minutes until the egg is completely cooled. It makes peeling much easier and you won't get dents in your eggs

[@thequickwit8174]

Wtf, just smash them softly, smash them.

[@dayvonlouis5187]

I soak them in cold water after boiling

[@ByronMantooth]

I just tried this after watching this video a few times. I've always been too afraid I'd ruin the eggs when trying this. They came out perfect! Thanks Marion :)

Lmaoooo hello from the future! I'm so glad to see someone using the teaspoon technique. 😂 I see entirely too many KZbin chefs making it unnecessarily complicated, when I've been using a teaspoon to peel eggs my entire life. With a very small amount of practice, it becomes second nature and takes seconds.

[@jdroxford]

Thank you for the tips on making a very successful soy sauce egg. I made 4 eggs today just 2 hrs before serving time. The eggs still came out great! I must confess it was a scary experience to be tapping on the egg. But just like you said, the egg turned out roundish. I found it weird to stir the eggs while I wait for them to cook, but when I saw all the yolks were in the middle, WHOA!!! OK it was so worth it!!!

[@cassandrajean-louis8415]

I used soy sauce, Mirin, some extra sugar, a touch of rice vinegar, and some sambal garlic chili paste and water as the brining solution..... best creation ever made!!!! I made 5 eggs and let them sit in the fridge weighted down with a plate for 2 days... we ate them all throughout the day

[@Gunmonkey5]

I forgot to mention I cooked off the alcohol in the mirin first before mixing in the rest

[@laladyloulou]

Awesome video and learned a lot about how to boil an egg, who knew! Question, can you reuse the sauce? How long would you reuse it for?

[@rinahana5448]

Explain so politely... I Like it ❤️

[@lajeanette33]

I have to thank you for this! I’ve been struggling with egg peeling phase for months. Pokimg a hole changes everything! THX!!!

[@0913young]

This has nothing to do with anything, but I steam my eggs for 15 minutes to make a perfect hard boiled egg, and then put into a ice bath for 10 minutes.. You can blow the shells off practically.. No vinegar, no spoon, you don't need to use old eggs, this works for fresh eggs... Just steam it like you would with broccoli, or any vegetable.. I wonder how long it would take to steam them to get the yolk at that jam like consistency. Maybe 7 minutes.. I'm going to experiment.

[@irablanco2316]

[@robertblakey1937]

Marion.....I use the tip of a corn cob holder....those things you poke into each end of an ear if corn.... and gently twist and poke! Less damage to egg but enough to allow water into the egg like you suggested.

In Mauritius we do that differently. The eggs are cooked once again in a mixture of soy sauce, red wine, water, cinnamon, garlic and some oil for shiny eggs. After that, they turn quite dark. Yummy!

[@LilGamez21]

First time I made Hanjuku Tamgo I didn't have mirin, I couldn't find it at the store so I opened my fridge and saw my Grandma's red wine and I was like hmm that could work so I pour it into my soy sauce marinade and put the eggs in the marinade and left it in the fridge for two days. And the red wine really gave it a delicious sweet taste to the egg. I recommend using red wine if you have it.

[@m.taylor]

Thank you to this lady for the perfect soft-boiled egg technique.... a quick alternative when I am not up to making onsen tamago.

[@Ayumikii]

I usually just use soy sauce, water and sugar. Instead of putting it in a bowl, you can put it in a plastic bag with a paper towel to make sure the eggs are covered, it helps the eggs get a more even marinade. For the same size eggs I actually like six and a half minutes, until the whites are just set and none of the yolk has been cooked. I also marinate them for 48 hours. This gives the yolk a slightly thicker but still runny consistency and the whites get a lot of good flavor. You get a darker coating on the outside, and with how rich the yolk gets after 48 hours I think it's perfect. Eat it over a bowl of white rice with green onions is spectacular.

[@blazerstoner]

what a nice little trick to peel the eggs! thank you - never thought to use a spoon to help out with the process.

[@lalitkumarshah3512]

[@julietong1418]

A great demo; the best I’ve seen for these ramen eggs. I wonder, can I use the sauce a second time to make these eggs again if I keep leftover in fridge couple of days?

[@easypzee]

Don't know why so much marinade is used. I just a small sealable bag that takes about five eggs and put 50-60g or marinate into the sealed bag. You can also half submerge the bag while sealing it to take out all the air. I also skip the water in the marinade.
