Instructions

  1. Bring a pot of water to a boil;

  1. Prepare a bowl of cold water, possibly with ice;

  1. Set the timer for 6 minutes and reduce the heat under boiling water (if you throw the egg into boiling water it could break);

  1. Using the slotted spoon, dip the egg, placing it on the bottom;

  1. Boil for exactly 6 minutes, stirring frequently;

  1. Once the 6 minutes are up, immediately cool the egg in the bowl of cold water;

  1. Make small cracks on the top and bottom of the shell and peel the egg;

  1. Leave in cold water for 10-15 minutes. [If you don't have time to continue with the marinade, stop here. You've made hanjyuku tamago, half-boiled unmarinated egg. Cut it in half and add it to your bowl];

  1. In the meantime, prepare a container with water and pour in the bag of Noodz Marisauce (follow the instructions on the bag);

  1. After 10-15 minutes, dry the egg with kitchen paper (it will improve the marinade and shelf life);

  1. Dip in the previously diluted Noodz Marisauce and cover with kitchen paper touching the egg directly until it is wet (this will allow the egg to completely absorb the mixture);

  1. Leave the container in the refrigerator overnight (or at least 8 hours).
