Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon chopped green onions (for garnish)
Instructions
- Start by boiling a pot of water. Gently lower the large eggs into the boiling water.
- Cook the eggs for about 6-7 minutes for a soft-boiled texture. If you prefer firmer yolks, cook for a couple of extra minutes.
- Once cooked, transfer the eggs to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Let them cool for about 5-10 minutes.
- Peel the eggs gently under running water to prevent any damages to the egg whites.
- In a separate bowl, mix the soy sauce, sugar, minced garlic, and sesame oil together until the sugar dissolves.
- Place the peeled eggs into a jar and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the eggs are fully submerged. Seal the jar.
- Let the eggs marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, but overnight is best. Before serving, garnish with chopped green onions.
Notes
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within a week for best flavor.
