Ingredients

½ cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons mirin
6 egg yolks

Instructions

Mix the soy sauce and mirin in a medium sized container.
Gently add the egg yolks to the mixture.
Put a lid on the container (or use plastic wrap to cover the container). Marinate the eggs in the refrigerator for 12 hours.
Use a spoon to carefully flip the egg yolks over and let marinate in the refrigerator for another 12 hours.
Then the yolks are ready to eat! We love to serve the yolks over a bowl of hot rice for a simple and delicious meal.
You can marinate the yolks for up to 48 hours but I don't recommend going past 48 hours. The longer you marinate the yolk, the more firm and salty they get. You can marinate for less than 24 hours if preferred, but we've found that 24 hours is our "sweet spot." Enjoy ^_^
