煮玉子が家にあると、ちょっと嫌なことがあっても「まあ家に帰れば煮玉子あるしな」ってなるし仕事でむかつく人に会っても「そんな口きいていいのか？私は自宅で煮玉子とよろしくやってる身だぞ」ってなれる。戦闘力を求められる現代社会において煮玉子と同棲することは有効

When you have marinated eggs at home, even if something unpleasant happens, you can think, 'Well, at least I’ve got marinated eggs waiting for me at home.' And when someone at work annoys you, you can just think, 'You really think you can get to me? I go home to marinated eggs.' In a world where we’re expected to keep it together all the time, just having marinated eggs in the fridge feels like a quiet kind of power.

4 eggs

★ 40cc soy sauce

★ 40cc mirin

★ 1 teaspoon sugar

① Use a needle to poke a small hole in the rounded end (bottom) of each egg at room temperature.

② Gently place the eggs into boiling water and roll them quietly for about 30 seconds.

Boil for 6 minutes.

③ Transfer immediately to ice water and peel the shells.

④ Soak the peeled eggs in the marinade ★ for 1 day (half a day works too if you’re in a hurry).

Optional: Add sliced red chili or a bit of sesame oil for extra flavor!
