Pressed and Steamed Hard-Boiled Eggs for Osechi or Bento
This is a must for the Osechi I make every year. It's pretty, delicious, and more than anything else, it's easy.
Pretty fancy for boiled eggs.
It's also a favorite at our house on New Year's Eve.
Note that the volume of egg white will be greater than the egg yolk, so you'll have to take note when adding the seasonings and when shaping them.
When your making it so that the egg yolk sits lightly on top, there's no need to add flour and it still turns out great. The seasoning is Kansai-style, so it might be a bit sweet for some... adjust it to taste. Recipe by Momora

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Hard-boil the eggs. Be careful not to boil them too long, or the color will be damaged.
- 2
Separate the boiled eggs into yolks and whites. You can do this while the eggs are still warm, since it doesn't matter if they fall apart.
- 3
Add about half of the sugar, salt and katakuriko to each (a bit more than half to the egg whites) and mix well. Pass through a strainer.
- 4
Put the egg whites in a mold and spread them out with a spatula, without pressing down. Place the egg yolks on top. Don't press, or they won't be fluffy.
- 5
Steam in a steamer for 5 minutes. If you want to make a checkered pattern, make sure to flatten out the egg yolks in Step 4, and after steaming take the eggs out of the steamer, cut in half, and place one half upside-down on top of the other, and steam again for 3 minutes.
- 6
This is how it looks if you don't flatten the egg yolks out and leave them light and fluffy.

For Character Bentos: Easy to Make a Hard Boiled Egg - "Nameko Saibai Kit" For Character Bentos: Easy to Make a Hard Boiled Egg - "Nameko Saibai Kit"
After talking with my Nameko-loving-son on how to make the Nameko look more shiny for days, we came up with this.The skewer and chopstick technique used to brown half the egg was a borrowed idea from a summer research project making plastic food.Thanks to this, we were able to make a realistic and cute bento!Be careful not to break the egg white by pressing too hard when shaping the egg!Other than preventing the cup from spilling over, the skewer and chopsticks helps keep the egg from touching the bottom or leaning on the side of the cup. When the egg is touching the cup, it doesn't color the egg very well.If you're making it for a bento, it's better to shave off more (on the back) so it won't stick to the lid. For 1 nameko.

Meat-Wrapped Soft-Boiled Eggs for Bentos Meat-Wrapped Soft-Boiled Eggs for Bentos
I thought that meat-wrapped eggs might be as good as meat wrapped onigiri, so I gave them a try. They were really good! They were great in a bento! (Only use very fresh eggs.)If you don't flour the eggs twice at Steps 2 and 4, the meat will come off them.I recommend using large pieces of thinly sliced beef such as sukiyaki beef. If you have small pieces, try squeezing them tightly on the eggs as if you are making onigiri (rice balls) to make them stick. For 2 to 3 servings. Recipe by Ponie -

This is a dish we make often at our home.My mother taught me a different recipe to make sweetened atsuyaki eggs, but this one is also one of our favorites.There are two ways to roll the egg: A. To roll it up from the start, or B. Don't roll at the start but rather gather it to the sides to cook. If you'd like the cross-section to look nice, try the former way. Recipe by Yuuyuu0221
