Marinated Egg Yolks
These marinated egg yolks are a rich, velvety treat made with just three simple ingredients, but packed with deep umami flavor. Cured to a custard-like texture, the yolks soak up a bold blend of soy sauce, mirin, and a touch of spicy pepper (or your preferred twist), creating a savory bite that melts in your mouth. Perfect as a topping for rice, noodles, or toast, they’re an effortless way to add luxurious depth to any meal! Visit groovyfoodiess.com for more of Sarah's recipes!
