Ingredients
Eggs
- 6 eggs
Marinade
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- 1 tsp chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Boil the Eggs: Place the eggs in a pot and cover them with water. Bring to a boil and cook for 6–7 minutes to achieve a jammy, soft-boiled center.
- Cool and Peel: Transfer the boiled eggs immediately to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process and cool completely. Once cooled, carefully peel the eggs without breaking the delicate whites.
- Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine soy sauce, water, sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, chopped green onions, sesame seeds, and chili flakes if using. Stir well until the sugar is dissolved and the ingredients are well mixed.
- Marinate the Eggs: Place the peeled eggs into the marinade, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover the container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to deeply infuse.
- Serve: Remove the eggs from the marinade and slice in half if desired. Serve them as a savory side dish or enjoy them atop rice or noodles for a flavorful boost.
Notes
- Best consumed within 2–3 days for optimal freshness and flavor.
- Adjust the saltiness by adding more water to the marinade if it tastes too strong.
- Chili flakes are optional; omit for a milder flavor or adjust to your spice preference.
