(Recipe Sources: Peng’s Kitchen + Evan’s Kitchen Ramblings with minor adjustments)
Makes 2 Eggs

Ingredients:
2 Eggs
125ml Light Soy Sauce
270ml Water
3tsp Dark Soy Sauce
3tsp Brown Sugar
2-3 Slices Ginger
2tbsp Shao Shing Wine(I don't have sake)
3tbsp Mirin

Method:
1. Boil a pot of water. Reduce to low-medium heat with hot bubbles still coming out from the water. Carefully place in the eggs with a pair of tongs.

2. Start counting for 7 minutes. Make sure that you have a digital clock in front of you.
 
3.When finish, quickly place the eggs in a bowl of iced water. Alternatively, place a bowl of cold water in the freezer for ½ hour before use. Once the eggs are placed in the bowl, leave it in the freezer for 5 minutes.

4. Mix the marinade in a bowl that is big & deep enough to place in 2 eggs. Stir until all the sugar is dissolved.
 
Tip:
Taste the marinade to see whether it is too salty for you. Simply dilute with some water or add more brown sugar if it is too salty for you.

5. Gently crack the eggs. Place the eggs in the marinade. The marinade must cover most of the eggs. Leave it in the room temperature for at least 3 hours. Alternatively, place the eggs & marinade in a resealable sandwich bag & refrigerate overnight.
 
Tip:Turn the eggs for a few times so they will be dyed in even colour.
 

6. Cut the eggs in half before serve
