Soy Sauce Eggs (Shoyu Tamago)

I had never heard of Soy Sauce Eggs (Shoyu Tamago a Japenese cuisine) but I just had to try them as I love hard boiled eggs and soy sauce. Most of the recipes I saw on line had more ingredients in the recipe like sugar and vinegar. I really liked this recipe as it only has the soy sauce for flavor. When taking a bite of these eggs your tongue gets a burst of the salty soy sauce, just like you salted your egg . This was a real treat and we all loved it!

Hard boil (or soft boil) your eggs then peel them.

In a small sauce pan add the soy sauce
and bring it to a boil over medium
heat, remove from the heat.

Add the eggs and using a rubber spatula or
rubber spoon, roll the eggs carefully in the soy
sauce until they are as salty as you would like,
I rolled mine for about 5 minutes. Remove
the eggs and pat them dry with a paper towel.

Slice them in half lengthwise and serve or add
them to another dish such as ramen and enjoy!
Eggs can be stored in a covered container
in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Super easy. Thanks, Diane! I’d be tempted to add other stuff to the soy sauce, like ginger, garlic, or curry. Or all three. 😉 (I think my taste buds have ADD.)

I wouldn’t mind trying other spices next time, just not sugar. I would definitely try ginger and garlic with the soy sauce too. I really liked these! Thank you!

Diane, you discovered one of my comfort foods! I call them marinated egg. Growing up, my mom made these on the pressure cooker with fatty bits of pork and black fungus. It is so tasty (and fatty) and goes so well with a bowl of hot white rice and a cold can of Coke. We can never have just one egg!
So glad you discovered these and your recipe looks great!

I tried one of the recipes with sugar and other ingredients. The eggs were good, but I think I might prefer these ones.

I agree Aspasia, sugar just doesn’t appeal to me with eggs, sometimes simple is best.

There are a lot of non-Japanese producing recipes, so they add things like vinegar which you shouldn’t do. The salt in the soy sauce “cures” the egg, but I would do a soy sauce (kikkoman), mirin, and sake (ginger is optional, also cook off the alcohol). Also I highly suggest you marinate it longer, like 6 hours.
