Vegetable broth provides umami flavor without fish.

Prepare a large bowl with 2-3 cups of ice and cold water for the ice bath.

In a medium pot, add 1 cup of water and 1 teaspoon of dashi powder, bring to a boil.

Add 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/2 cup sake, 1/2 cup mirin, and 1/4 cup sugar to the boiling dashi mixture, stir to dissolve sugar and boil for 2 minutes.

Remove the marinade from heat and let it cool completely.

Boil the eggs using an Instant Pot with 1 cup of water, pressure cook on high for 3 minutes for soft-boiled eggs, then do a quick release.

Transfer the eggs to the ice bath immediately after cooking.

Cool the eggs in the ice bath for around 20 minutes.

Peel the eggs and place them in a Ziploc bag.

Pour the cooled marinade over the peeled eggs in the Ziploc bag, seal tightly, and refrigerate for 8 to 24 hours.
