Becky– You are using approximately 1 1/4 tablespoons of soy sauce/tamari per egg. Soy sauce has approximately 1200 mg of sodium per tablespoon whereas table salt has 6900 mg of sodium per tablespoon! When you cook the eggs you are left with a soy sauce “sludge” at the end which you discard (and is super salty). So the large majority of the soy sauce sodium content never makes it “into” the egg, just the flavor! Phew, was that a long answer to a simple question? :)

Elizabeth– Shoyu tamago can be eaten by itself as a snack, with rice, with a bowl of noodles, as a part of a packed lunch…anything goes! It wouldn’t be considered a main dish—usually a snack, or as a component of a casual lunch.

I love hard boiled eggs, but i got a feeling that these will be better! However, i am curious: is shoyu tamago eaten by itself or with something else, like rice?

I saw this post on Glamour’s site, and I had a question. Is this loaded with salt when it is done, or just the flavor? I love Asian food, and am always trying to make new foods. Thanks, and I love your site, very lovely design!

P.S. Kristie, as far as I know, Tamari does not contain wheat. Check the label, but I think it’s safe …

Hi Rachael! Just discovered your fab blog! I’m the health and fitness blogger for Glamour magazine. I’m planning to feature your soy sauce eggs on my blog on Monday, with a link back to you (hope it’s OK to use your photo–with attribution of course!). From one “Fuji” mama to the next (my husband is half Japanese, and we have two little boys). Thanks, and happy cooking! xo

This sounds like a great recipe! I know your daughter is really into Asian food, more than my children. I know they like soy sauce so I'm sure they'll like this Soyu Tamago! I will try them soon!
