Made 60 eggs for obligatory CNY 2nd Day visit to the in-laws...sort of potluck. Everyone was amazed and loved them. Shared your recipe. Thanks again. ( Saved me a bundle if I were to cook or buy something else for a crowd of 100 pax...children, grandkids and great grand kids. Mother in law is 90 plus.)

I am just on a late night cooking video marathon and I stumbled upon your video and immediately noticed from your voice that you're Singaporean! Keep it up guys! 👍🏻👍🏻 - fellow Singaporean

Thank you for doing this video. My family and I have just come back from Japan and these were one of our favorite things we ate. I can’t wait to make them!

This recipe is seriously phenomenal! Best marinated egg I've ever had. Way better than 99% of restaurants! Thank you so much for sharing, this recipe has become a staple in our household 💖

Amazing! Tried this tonight! Came out great 👍 thanks for making this video

[JK-bbwz]

Thank you for the recipe! May I ask can I reuse the marination?

[gvshe]

Omg I just tried this recipe! I swear it is damn good! I'm so impressed at how perfect it turned out!! Thanks a mil😍

[chuamooilan]

Sorry if this seems penny pinching. .can we reuse the marinade mixture for the next batch? It's because I want to try making a few eggs first and if I think I like the taste I'll make more for my friends to share using the same mixture.

Hi everyone, this video doesn't say this but i'm going to give a friendly tip! Take a needle and poke the egg at the big bottom part of the egg, make sure not to poke too far into it to pierce the membrane otherwise you will break the egg. This is super vital if you want pretty wellrounded eggs with the yolk in the middle! the eggs in this video have come out ''wonky'' because this method wasn't used. The theory behind this is, the older an egg gets, the bigger the airpockets become. when it cooks the airpocket expands and so does the egg, and it presures against the airpocket making the yolk not be in the center and the eggwhite looks like a square. This step is a vital step to making hanjuku tamago :) And its best to leave overnight for optimal umamii (flavour!)
Have fun cooking!

Hi, any idea how long to boil eggs from room temperature? Thanks 😊

[carollim]

Hi Ronald....thanks for your Japanese soft boiled eggs.. I wanted to make this egg... and you kindly show how to make it... many thanks

[fellanykassim]

Hello, even if we kind of over boil the eggs, will the submerging of the eggs in the mixture make the yolk soft like in the video?

[candytan]

Hi Ronald, i am the big fan of you, i always cook yr recipe . Thank you so much for yr recipe, all my Family love my cooking now 😃. Anyway, i need tO ask you if i want tO cook more than 3 Eggs, like 12 eggs . Do I need to put 1 litre of water, mirin & soya sauce? Or just enough to cover the eggs will do, pls advice . Thank you so much 🙏

[gabrielho]

How Long must we leave it in the ice water ?

[cremeandco]

Thanks for explaining! I had a recipe which say to boil the water, add in eggs carefully and reduce to a simmer. I prepared 4 eggs for 6 minutes and got kopitiam style soft-boiled egg. 

Only realised in your video that even when reducing to a simmer, the water should still be boiling. Also made this noob mistake when I was trying out online recipe (no video) for 糖水 once.

Does timing change according to number ofceggs used? I doing 8 eggs, what would the timing be like? Tks in advance

[ThePrestoul]

Hi, is there any specific egg brand you recommend? I'm using this seng choon egg, and my yolks always seems to be always near the fatter bottom of the egg which makes them very vulnerable to peeling.

[AnalBajanal]

I would like to know if I can substitute the mirin with brown rice wine as mirin is not available where I live, and if so how much extra sugar should I add to balance the sourness?

[_celynlim]

Hi, may i know what the second bottle( of sause?) is? (It's the one with japenese label on it)
