Soft-Boiled vs. Hard-Boiled Eggs
– Texture: The soft whites and sauce-like yolk of soft-boiled eggs add creaminess to any dish. Whereas hard-boiled eggs, with firmer whites and crumbly yolks, add texture.
– Cook Time: Soft-boiled eggs are sometimes referred to as 6-minute eggs – the less time you leave the egg in boiling water, the less set the whites and yolks will be. In contrast, hard-boiled eggs generally take 10-12 minutes. These cook times reflect room temperature eggs. To bring eggs to room temperature, either pull them out of the fridge an hour before prep, place them in tepid water for about 5 minutes, or simply adjust the cook time, if still cold.
– Shelf Life: The shelf-life of soft-boiled eggs is just 2 days in the fridge. On the other hand, hard-boiled eggs can be stored for up to a week.

Shoyu vs. Chinese Soy Sauce
The umami-rich, Japanese shoyu contains fermented soybeans, wheat, salt and water. Yet, through a complex brewing process, hundreds of flavor profiles emerge. Chinese soy sauces generally also contain yeast, and are more savory than shoyu.
