Instructions
- 1 Bring eggs to room temperature by soaking them in warm water for about 10 minutes.
- 2 Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a low boil.
- 3 Carefully pierce the bottom of each egg with thumb tack. Gently lower eggs into the boiling water.
- 4 Gently lower eggs into water and boil for 6 minutes 20 seconds. Remove eggs and place in a bowl of ice water until completely cool, about 2 minutes.
- 5 While the eggs are cooling, stir together soy sauce, mirin, sake, and pepper for marinade in a bowl.
- 6 Carefully peel cooled eggs; try to start from the middle of the shell and work you way up and down.
- 7 Place whole peeled eggs in marinade. Refrigerate for at least 2 to 4 hours, or up to 2 days for stronger flavor, turning eggs every 30 minutes or as often as you prefer.
- 8 Slice eggs in half when ready to use.
