Essential Ingredients:
• 6 large eggs
• 1/2 cup soy sauce (regular or low sodium)
• 1/2 cup water (to dilute marinade a bit)
• 1/4 cup mirin (sweet rice wine)
• 1 tablespoon sugar (optional, but adds balance)
• 1 clove garlic (smashed) – optional, for added flavor
• 1 slice of ginger or green onion – optional, aromatic boost

Quick Steps:
1. Soft-boil the eggs (typically 6–7 minutes), then cool in ice water and peel.
2. Mix soy sauce, water, mirin, and sugar in a container or ziplock bag.
3. Add optional garlic/ginger.
4. Submerge peeled eggs in marinade for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight in the fridge.
