Adapted from an internet recipe.
I made these on 30 Dec 2021 and taste tested on 31 Dec, and these are excellent hard boiled eggs salty from the soy sauce and a nice flavor from the liquid smoke. This recipe assumes you have hard boiled eggs on hand, if not, a Shortcut is provided to my preferred way to make them. Link to the shortcut is listed in the Recipe Notes section.

- hard boiled eggs, amount is up to you, Shortcut
- 1 cup light soy sauce, for less salty, use ½ cup light soy sauce and ½ cup water
- 2 tablespoons liquid smoke
Prepare the hard boiled eggs with your preferred method. Cool and peel. Place eggs in a glass or ceramic container, preferably with a watertight lid, makes for turning the eggs easier. I used just 4 eggs to test out the recipe.
Measure out the light soy sauce and liquid smoke.
Add the liquid smoke to the soy sauce and mix together, pour over the eggs, cover and soak eggs for 3 hours or even overnight, rotating the eggs occasionally until all the sides are a nice brown, containers with waterproof seal, just shake the eggs around to turn them. Soak longer for a darker brown.
Serve as is, make into deviled eggs, slice for salad or a sandwich, enjoy.
