Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Never place cold eggs straight from the fridge into boiling water—temperature shock can cause the shell to crack. Always bring eggs to room temperature before cooking.
  • Removing as much air as possible from the ziplock bag creates a vacuum effect, allowing even a small amount of sauce to evenly coat the entire egg.
  • After serving, drizzle the finished soy sauce over rice and add teriyaki sauce, furikake, or natto for a delicious donburi-style meal.

Recommended for

  • Those who want a topping for rice with a soft, runny yolk that flows gently.
  • Those seeking a hearty, one-dish side dish that lasts a week with minimal ingredients and time.
