Quick & Easy - these Miso-Marinated Eggs only require a handful of ingredients. You simply boil your eggs for as long as you fancy (I like mine to have a soft centre so I cook mine for 6 minutes, but if you like a hard-boiled egg, then cook them for 9 minutes), peel them, and place them into your marinade. Store them in the fridge for at least 6 hours and then voila, you've got yourself the most flavoursome eggs!

Ingredients To Make These Miso-Marinated Eggs

Firstly, you'll need some eggs. You can cook as many as you like but I prepared 6. Once you've boiled them for 6 minutes (for a soft centre), simply set them in cold water and peel them.

For The Marinade:

Miso paste (I used itsu miso easy sachets)
Light soy sauce
Sugar
Water (hot so that it dissolves the sugar)
Sesame seeds
Chilli
Garlic
Spring onion

All you have to do is place them all into a container, give it a good mix, and then add in your eggs!

How To Make Miso-Marinated Eggs

Step 1 - The Marinade

In a medium-sized container, add in all of your marinade ingredients: miso, soy sauce, sugar, hot water, sesame seeds, red chilli, garlic, and spring onion.
Give everything a good mix until the sugar has disintegrated, then set it aside to cool.

Step 2 - Boil Your Eggs

Place a pan of boiling water onto high heat and add in your eggs.
For a jammy yolk, set a timer for 6 minutes. If you like your eggs hard, then keep them in for a further 3 minutes.
Once your timer has gone off, remove your eggs and place them into a bowl of ice-cold water.
Peel your eggs.

Step 3 - Marinate Your Eggs

Simply place your eggs into your marinade mixture.
Place the air-tight container into your fridge for at least 6 hours.
Then serve up and enjoy with some sticky rice, or on toast, or with anything...!
