Cooking InstructionsHide images

step 1

Bring a pot of water to boil in a medium saucepan, then add the Baking Soda (1 Tbsp).

step 2

Slowly add the Eggs (6) into the boiling water using a large spoon or soup skimmer. Allow to cook for 7 minutes.

step 3

Transfer the eggs into an ice bath and allow them to chill for 3 minutes.

step 4

Combine the Water (2 cups), Teriyaki Sauce (1 cup), and Mirin (4 Tbsp) in a bowl or container with a tight-fitting cover.

step 5

Place the eggs in the teriyaki sauce mix. Cover the top of the eggs with a paper towel to help the liquid reach the eggs evenly all around.

step 6

Sprinkle the Bonito Flakes (1 handful) on top of the paper towel (if using).

step 7

Cover and refrigerate overnight. Remove the eggs from the seasoning liquid after 24 hours, or they will become too salty. Store in the refrigerator for up to a few days.
