This cured egg yolk recipe is such a simple yet satisfying light meal that ticks all the umami boxes. The egg yolk is pickled in the soy sauce which becomes a deep amber orange colour and a thick silky sauce texture that is so, well, I can’t really put into words how nice the texture is. Served on a bed of brown rice flavoured with dashi and sesame oil, topped with a delicious nori furikake (a Japanese seasoning), chilli oil and a garnish of spring onions.
A note on curing times: I recommend 24 hrs, but you can cure as little as 4 hours, it’s just a bit more runny, less jammy.
