    These are unreal! Could the marinade be used again for more eggs?

    If you're reusing the marinade, like a second steep of a tea bag, the flavour will be much weaker. To make up for that, add more soy sauce to boost the flavour.

    I've made these and they've been in the marinade overnight, what's the best way to reheat the eggs for serving? Or should they be served cold? Thanks

    If you did want to heat the eggs up... I generally boil the kettle and then pop the eggs in a bowl/cup and submerge then in the water. They gently warm up over 5-10 mins (depending on how patient you are!). Won't be boiling hot but might be nice if you don't want them fridge cold :)

    Any tips for peeling the eggs without breaking them? This is something I always have trouble with

    When are you peeling these eggs? Before marinading or after?

    Hi Joseph, peel the eggs before adding them to marinade. Thanks for the feedback – we've added this instruction into the method!
