Soy marinated eggs are in general really easy to make, and make for a nice snack or breakfast to bring outdoors or to accompany ramen. While Nitamago has a sweet and salty taste, Lǔ dàn is more aromatic. I like both a lot, and struggle to decide which is my favourite.

I struggled to present them well, so I just arranged them in a bowl 😅

I've never had much luck imparting flavor through marination to hard boiled eggs. Color, yes, especially cha ye dan.

    That seems off. Eggs absorb marinade really well.

    How long are you marinating them for? Does the marinade have a strong flavor? Are you peeling the eggs before marinating?
