Ingredients

1

Make hard-boiled eggs. If you prefer soft-boiled eggs, you can use those instead. I made them hard-boiled this time because I wanted to put them in a lunchbox.
2

Combine the mentsuyu and soy sauce, then add the boiled eggs. Use a 2:1 ratio of mentsuyu to soy sauce.
3

Add enough marinade to cover the eggs.
4

Since the eggs may float, place a piece of parchment paper on top to keep them submerged. Refrigerate and let them marinate until they take on color.
5

After 1 hour, turn the eggs so the parts not submerged are now in the marinade, and let them sit for another hour.
6

Once the eggs are evenly colored, they're ready. If you marinate them too long, they may become too salty depending on the eggs.
7

I made these marinated eggs to go with this lunchbox. Recipe ID: 19775811
