Soy-Sauce Marinated Eggs

(1) Make eggs: set a medium pot of water to boil, add 1 tsp salt, and gently lower eggs in boiling water. Boil for 6 1/2 minutes, then immediately remove from heat and run under cold water or set eggs in an ice bath to stop cooking. (2) Make marinade: add soy sauce, water, mirin, garlic, chili flakes, ginger & sesame oil to a medium saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 5 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes. (3) Peel eggs once cooled, drop in marinade, let sit for 30 minutes. Place eggs & marinade in a Tupperware in the fridge for 3 days (at least! The key to amazing eggs with the marinade through is 3 days. Once the 3-day period passes, you can keep the eggs in the marinade or discard the marinade and keep eggs refrigerated). ENJOY!!
