[Verification] I tried finding the ideal marinating time using a 100-yen shop 'Seasoned Egg Maker'

This time, I used the “Seasoned Egg Maker” I bought at Can★Do to verify the best marinating time for seasoned eggs.

The biggest advantage of this item is that it “finishes evenly with less seasoning”! Since it is a dedicated container that fits the shape of an egg, it is more economical and less prone to failure than making them with Ziploc bags.

Recipe for this time

The package had instructions for using 'mentsuyu' (noodle soup base), but since my family uses white dashi often, I made it with “white dashi + soy sauce” this time.

• Seasoning: 10g white dashi + 40g soy sauce (50ml total)

• Egg condition: Hard-boiled yolks for bento boxes

1. In the case of a '1 hour' marinating time (as indicated on the package)

First, I tried marinating it for 1 hour as indicated on the package.

• Appearance: It has a good color and looks delicious!

• Taste: Hmm, it's salty... It was so strong that I immediately wanted to drink water. It seems the saltiness of the white dashi really took effect.

2. In the case of a '30 minute' marinating time

Next, I tried shortening the time to 30 minutes.

• Appearance: It is sufficiently browned even after 30 minutes.

• Taste: Oh! This is just right! The balance between the egg white and yolk is good, and it was very delicious.

What I learned from the verification

① 30 minutes of marinating time is enough!
With this combination (white dashi + soy sauce), I found that the flavor penetrates well even in 30 minutes. It saves time, which is killing two birds with one stone.

② The trick is not to skimp on the amount of seasoning
Thinking it would be a waste if there was leftover seasoning, I tried making it with half the amount, 25ml, but that didn't cover the top of the eggs. By adding
50ml as indicated, it finished beautifully and evenly. If you put the eggs in the container and the seasoning doesn't reach the top, the key is to adjust it until they are fully submerged.

③ Regarding storage
This time, I am keeping them in the refrigerator for bento boxes and eating them within 2-3 days.

Summary

From now on, I think I will make 50ml of seasoning, 30 minutes of marinating time my go-to standard at home✨

Using the 'Seasoned Egg Maker' seems like it will make preparing busy morning bento boxes a little easier.
I hope this article will be useful to someone someday😊

Thank you for reading until the end.
