Ingredients

Eggs - I used large eggs; cooking times are based on this size. Tip: Older eggs are easier to peel.

Vinegar - Adding vinegar when boiling eggs softens the shell which makes it easier to peel.

Mirin - This is a Japanese rice wine. Substitute with water or stock with a pinch of sugar and a few drops of vinegar.

Soy sauce -we used low-sodium—if yours is regular strength, you might want to err on the side of shorter marination time

1.Bring the marinade to a boil. Bring the soy sauce, mirin ,vinegar and water to a gentle boil. Set aside.

2.Bring the eggs to cold water to the pot, bring the water to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove and pour in cold water until not hot. Crack the shell with the back of a knife.
