Ginger Soy Marinated Eggs
Marinated with ginger, green onions, and soy sauce, these ginger soy marinated eggs are a slightly healthier alternative to traditional soy marinated egg recipes. The best part is this recipe comes together in less than 10 minutes! Eat it in a bowl of ramen or over some plain rice. You’ll definitely love this simple egg dish.
I personally love eggs. I think they’re so versatile, and can be cooked in so many different ways. I’ve made ramen eggs in the past, which is one of my personal favorites to date. Recently, I was inspired by another recipe of mine – my Hainanese chicken rice recipe – to create another version of soy marinated eggs using the sauce from that recipe. These ginger soy marinated eggs are absolutely amazing. I love this recipe because it utilizes no sugar. Instead, it uses ginger, sesame oil, and green onions to flavor the soy sauce.
Some deets about key ingredients
- Eggs – You can use any kind of eggs for this recipe and any cook on the egg. If you like hard boiled eggs, use hard boiled eggs!
- Soy sauce – I personally like using low sodium Kikkoman soy sauce because it has the best flavor. Use any kind of soy sauce you like however. To make this recipe gluten free, use tamari instead.
- Sesame oil – If you can’t find or don’t have sesame oil, you can leave it out.

Tips on how to make the perfect ginger soy marinated eggs
Use a small bowl or jar to get maximum coverage
It’s really important to use the right size container, so your eggs are completely submerged without the container overflowing. I find that a small bowl or small jar should work fine. I tested these with a bowl and jar, and prefer the jar since the dimensions of the jar help the liquid fully cover the eggs. It was also a lot easier to store. I personally use these glass jars for my eggs.

To make this recipe gluten free, use tamari instead of soy sauce.

These soy marinated eggs can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Here is my dumb question- I will be adding these eggs to a ramen, so do I just use the eggs or the eggs and marinade? Thanks
Not a dumb question! Use just the eggs!
Very easy recipe and method to follow. The eggs were delicious!
I have made this three times and the taste delicious. I’m no a big fan of ginger. However, I definitely wouldn’t miss putting it in. I used fresh and grated it in. It add so much to the flavor. Thank you for sharing your recipe. This recipe is a keeper. 🙂🙏♥️🕊
Thank you so much for making this recipe! I love the extra flavor ginger adds! It is indeed a strong flavor though, so I get it!
Do you peel the eggs before you marinate them in the garlic soy sauce?
