    Prepare eggs that have been cooked to about 80% doneness in advance (wash them clean, cook in water until about 80% done, then let them cool), and lightly crack the eggshells to allow the flavor to seep in.

    Add clear water until it covers the eggs, bring to a boil and turn off the heat after 10 minutes. Add an appropriate amount of light soy sauce and salt, preferably a little saltier than usual to help the flavor penetrate.
