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.

Ingredients

Makes 2 onigiri
  1. 2well-chilled eggs
  2. 2 tablespoons (30 ml)soy sauce
  3. 1 tablespoon (15 ml)sugar
  4. 1 tablespoon (15 ml)mirin
  5. 1 tablespoon (15 ml)sake
  6. 1/2 teaspoon (2 g)granulated Japanese soup stock (dashi)
  7. About 1 1/3 cups (200 grams) cooked rice
  8. 2 packets (3 g)each) bonito flakes
  9. as neededSoy sauce,
  10. White sesame seeds, to taste
  11. 2 sheetsnori (seaweed)

Cooking Instructions

  1. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.
