    Step 2

    • While the eggs are cooking, mix the soy sauce, water, and mirin in a quart-size freezer bag set into a small bowl to avoid spills. Next, prepare an ice bath in a medium bowl.
    • Once the eggs have finished cooking, place them directly into the ice bath. Shock for 2-4 minutes, then peel and add to the freezer bag, squeezing out air. Marinate for at least 8 hours before using—ideally overnight, and up to 3 days.
