Description
The Momofuku soft egg — a 6-minute boiled egg, peeled, then marinated in a soy-mirin mixture for 1–4 hours — produces an egg with a barely-set white and a jammy, slightly fudgy yolk, its exterior seasoned throughout with the soy marinade. The technique applies Japanese seasoning logic (the soy marinade is osmotically absorbed into the outer layers of the white) to the same barely-set egg principle as onsen tamago.
