Soy-Marinated Eggs

Soy-marinated eggs are a savory treat that adds depth and flavor to any dish. The soft-boiled eggs are marinated in a mixture of soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, and a touch of sweetness from maple syrup or honey. These eggs are perfect for topping ramen, grain bowls, or served as a snack. For the best flavor, let them marinate overnight.

Quick tip: Marinate the eggs overnight for maximum flavor infusion.
