Ingredients

4 large eggs, soft or hard boiled

5 tablespoons soy sauce, regular or dark

Directions

Gather the ingredients.

Peel the shells from the boiled eggs. Rinse with water to remove any tiny shell fragments. Set aside.

In a small pot, bring the soy sauce to a boil. Turn off the heat and add the boiled, peeled eggs. Using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon (so that the eggs don't become nicked), gently roll the eggs around, coating the eggs with the soy sauce mixture.

Continue to steep the eggs with soy sauce until they reach your desired color or saltiness—1 to 2 minutes for a lightly salted flavor, 5 minutes or longer for well-salted flavor.

Serve and enjoy.
