Once water reaches boiling point, carefully lower room temperature eggs. Reduce to medium high heat for a rolling boil and do not cover. For soft boil eggs with a runny yolk, boil for 6 minutes or 6.5 minutes for a jammy yolk. For hard-boiled eggs, boil for 10 minutes. Meanwhile prepare an ice water bath in a large bowl.

Transfer cooked eggs into bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Do not just run them under cold water. Let them sit in the ice bath until the eggs have cooled down completely.

Gently crack and peel egg shells with the back of a spoon. Start by cracking from the bottom of the egg (the less pointy side) as there is a gap between the egg white and the shell. You can use your fingers to gently peel away the shell and then use the back of the spoon to lift the shell off. This prevents any finger nail marks in the egg whites. Important: Soft-boiled eggs require a gentler touch over hard-boiled eggs when cracking and peeling.

Carefully place cooked eggs into soy sauce marinade. Cover the container with a lid. Marinate overnight or for 24 hours for best results. The egg whites will began to stain at around the 2 hour mark if you're in a hurry to enjoy them. Tip: Place a small square of plastic wrap or paper towel over the eggs to further submerge them into the marinade.

Slice the eggs open with a sharp knife by slicing them down the middle. Enjoy cold! There's no need to reheat them.
