With the recent shortage of eggs at the end of 2024, I understand it takes about 20 weeks for chickens to be able to produce eggs, so hope to make this last.  It makes a filling snack and maybe egg salad?

Ingredients

• 7 eggs
• 1 C water
• 1/2 C shoyu
• 3 T rice vinegar
• 3 T mirin
• 1 T fresh ginger
• 1 T fresh garlic

Directions

1. Boil eggs to preference hard 10 minutes or soft jammy 6 minutes
2. Immediately transfer to ice cold water to stop cooking
3. In pot combine remaining ingredients, bring to a boil and lower heat to simmer 5 minutes and cool 30 minutes
4. Add eggs to cooled sauce and refrigerate several hours.

Next time I will add sesame oil, green onions and chili pepper flakes for extra flavor when eggs are more available :-).
