The Best Soy Sauce Jammy Eggs

How could you not love something so happy colored, silky smooth, and delectably simple. Soy Sauce Jammy Eggs are easy to make, but the simplicity is what makes them extra special. Soy sauce seeps into the egg white adding delicious salty sweet flavor.

Ingredients
  

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup Aloha soy sauce
  • 1/4 tsp ginger
  • 1 tsp brown sugar

Instructions
 

  • Prepare an ice bath for the eggs. Mix the soy sauce, ginger, and sugar in a quart sized ziploc bag. Set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan, bring 1 quart of water to a steady, rapid boil. Place eggs in a strainer and gently lower them all down at the same time. Set the timer for 6 minutes. During the first minute, stir the eggs gently around in the saucepan to ensure your yolks stay in the center of your eggs. Have the ice bath on standby so the jammy babies can cool down from the hot tub!
  • As soon as the timer goes off, remove the eggs to chill in the ice bath for about 5 minutes. Once the eggs are completely cold, remove the shells and gently place in the ziploc bag. Be careful! The eggs will not be firm. They will be slightly soft and jiggly.
  • Let the eggs marinate for about 5-10 minutes. Remove the eggs from the marinade and save the soy sauce mixture for a different tasty thing!
  • To serve, slice the eggs in half and use them as the best topping ever for soups, rice, grain bowls, or salad Enjoy!
