- 6 Eggs
- 2 tsp Salt
- 1 tbsp White vinegar
- 1/2 cup Soy sauce
- 1/2 cup Water
- 1/2 cup Rice syrup, corn syrup, sugar or honey
- 3 Garlic cloves, chopped
- 4 Green onions, chopped
- 1 Green chili, chopped (optional)
- 1 Red chili, chopped (optional)
- 1 tbsp Sesame seeds
- 1 Sesame oil (for drizzling)
Instructions
- Begin by filling a pot with enough water to cover six eggs. Add salt and vinegar to the water, then bring it to a boil.
- Carefully add the eggs to the pot and cook for 6 minutes for a runny yolk (5 minutes if your stove is strong), or up to 10 minutes for hard-boiled eggs (8 minutes if your stove is strong).
- Once the cooking time is complete, transfer the eggs from the pot to an ice water bath and let them cool completely.
- While the eggs cool, prepare the sauce by combining soy sauce, water, and rice syrup in a bowl. Stir until everything is well mixed.
- Add minced garlic, chopped green onions, sliced chilies (if using), and sesame seeds to the sauce mixture. Stir to combine.
- Carefully peel the cooled eggs, being mindful not to damage them, and place them in an airtight container for storage.
- Pour the sauce mixture over the eggs, cover the container, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight before serving.
- When ready to serve, enjoy the marinated eggs with warm cooked rice and a drizzle of sesame oil!
Notes
- Do not add sesame oil to the sauce mixture, as it can cause the eggs to spoil more quickly.
