Soy Sauce Soaked Eggs

Ingredients

Eggs

Soy sauce

Method

This is a really simple recipe. All you need to do is hard boil eggs (quail, chicken - whatever you have) then peel and soak them in soy sauce for around an hour. You can leave them overnight for a stronger flavour. There are plenty of alterations you can make to this recipe, but this is the simplest!

NOTES

If you have them in a bowl like this, cover it with cling film and allow the film to settle on the top of the liquid, forcing the eggs under the surface.

To hard boil quail eggs, add them to cold water and bring to the boil, then boil for three minutes. For hen’s eggs, repeat this and boil for ten minutes.

Soy sauce soaked eggs are a real favourite in my family because they're so quick, easy and tasty. In my opinion, quail eggs are the best for this as their creamy yolks work really well with the salty tang of the soy sauce, but hen's eggs are just as good!
