Soy Sauce Eggs
This is a Chinese recipe and these eggs are served with noodle and rice dishes. These are generally soft boiled eggs but I will make with hard boiled as personal preference. These are delicious, and on my Go-To List now. Link to the shortcut is listed in the Recipe Notes section.
Ingredients
- 6-8 hard boiled eggs, or soft boiled, peeled, chicken or duck
For the Marinade
- 1 tablespoon Chinese 5 Spice powder
- 4 cups water
- 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
- 3/4 cup soy sauce, low sodium if you prefer
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
Instructions
- Add all the marinade ingredients to a medium sized pot, bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
- Once the marinade is cooled, add the peeled eggs and place in the fridge overnight. The next day, remove the eggs from the marinade and store, covered, in the fridge until use. Discard the marinade. This photo is from the second day and I sampled an egg.
- To serve with noodles or rice, just cut an egg in half and place on the plate beside the rice or noodles, and for noodles in a soup, just add on top, yolk side up for presentation.
