Burnished and brown, shoyu tamago ("soy sauce eggs") look quite different from your average hard-boiled egg, but are actually very simple to make. A lunchbox staple in Japan, they make a flavorful, high-protein snack on the go.
Shoyu tamago are made by peeling hard-boiled eggs and rolling them in a small amount of simmering soy sauce or tamari until the liquid is gone. That's it! Using tamari gives you the dark brown eggs shown above, while regular soy sauce results in a lighter brown color. Either way, the eggs are well-seasoned and very tasty.
In addition to eating them plain, try adding these eggs to noodle soups or rice porridge (congee).

I have never heard of these but will have to give them a try.
At last, an easier-to-obtain substitute for the funky aged Chinese eggs in my congee!
These look great. As far as putting them in congee, I prefer cracking a raw egg in mine when I reheat the congee for breakfast, until the egg is soft-poached, because the yolk mixed with the porridge is delicious.
As far as other ways to eat boiled eggs, in my Belarussian family, we'd eat boiled eggs with a dab of horseradish.
Perfect app for my Asian themed brunch on Sunday!
At home, we get rid of our extra eggs by hard-boiling them and then braising them with pork in black vinegar, soy sauce and lots of ginger. Perfect dinner!
Oh yum, these were so good! They were much less salty than I was expecting, but in a good way. I was scared they'd be like bigger bouillon cubes! Fun and simple way to use some extra eggs.
I took some pictures of my progress making them, let's just say, the final products do NOT look the same.. oh well, still tasted good!
