Pickled Eggs Japanese Style

Pickled eggs are one of those southern favorites in the U.S., but as you might know, Japanese love to pickle everything too.




Here is a recipe from my favorite Japanese cooking magazine. If you're familiar with Miso(soy bean paste), then that's the only Japanese ingredient you need to get at an Asian grocery store (like Uwajimaya).

Ingredients:Miso paste, Sugar, Yogurt, and of course boiled eggs(I prefer soft boiled eggs).

1. Mix the Miso paste(3 to 4 tbsp), sugar(3 tbsp) and Yogurt(3 tbsp) well until the mixture is smooth.
2. Put the peeled boiled eggs in a container and pour in the miso mixture.
3. Leave the container in the room temparature for 2 to 8 hours.

The recipe is super simple, and you'll be amazed at the richness of the egg yolk combined with mild miso flavor. You can sprinkle some red chili pepper (Shichimi) on them. Great with beers :-)
