About this recipe:
I saw 'Soft-Boiled Marinated Egg Onigiri' being sold at a department store for 252 yen... so expensive! I thought, 'I can make this myself!' and gave it a try. I adapted the soft-boiled egg recipe from Mukk82 (the original recipe is no longer available). I love soft-boiled eggs, so I made this with that in mind.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
First, make the marinated eggs. Carefully place the cold eggs straight from the fridge into a pot of rapidly boiling water using a ladle, and boil for 7 minutes.
- 2
While the eggs are boiling, combine all the ingredients marked with ○ (soy sauce, sugar, mirin, sake, dashi) in a container and microwave for about 20 seconds to dissolve the sugar and dashi.
- 3
Once the eggs are done, transfer them to cold water, peel them, and place them in the container from step 2. You can also use a plastic bag to ensure the eggs are evenly marinated.
- 4
Marinate the eggs overnight, or up to two nights for a deeper flavor. If not using a plastic bag, turn the eggs occasionally to ensure even marination.
- 5
Mix all the ● ingredients (rice, bonito flakes, soy sauce, sesame seeds if using). Wrap the marinated egg with the rice mixture, then wrap with a sheet of nori to form the onigiri. I like to use plastic wrap to help shape them.

I came up with this easy rice dish that is perfect for breakfast. When eating onigiri, my husband always asks me to make these. My kids love cheese. This gave me the idea to combine these ingredients together.Freshly cooked rice is good to use, but you can also reheat leftover rice in the microwave. If the flavor is weak, add salt to taste. If you add too much soy sauce, the rice balls will become too wet to pack tightly. It might be easier if you use sliced cheese. For 4-5 rice balls. Recipe by chikappe cookpad.japan -
