Equipment

  • 1 Pot

Ingredients
  

For the Eggs:

  • 6 Eggs
  • 1/2 cup Soy Sauce
  • 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 1-2 Red Chilies (minced)
  • 3 tbsp Rice Vinegar
  • 1/2 tbsp Sugar
  • 2 Stalks Green Onion, just the green, thinly sliced

Instructions
 

For the Soy Sauce Eggs:

  • First, we'll start by boiling the eggs. Boil the water and when it comes to a boil, gently lower the eggs into the water. Also, prepare an ice bath for the eggs (in a bowl place a lot of ice and add some water (enough to cover the eggs when they come out).
  • Boil for 6.5 minutes or to your desired yolk consistency. I like them a little runny but creamy (as pictured) which you should get at 6.5 minutes. Feel free to boil them longer, if you'd like a more solid yolk.
  • When the eggs are done, remove them from the hot water and immediately add them to your ice bath to stop the cooking process.
  • Next, to a container (I would recommend something taller and a little skinnier so all the eggs can be submerged), add the soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, chilies, green onion, and sugar and stir until the sugar is dissolved.
  • Peel and add your eggs to the soy sauce mixture.
  • Allow to marinate - 1-hour minimum, 4-8 hours preferred.
  • Once the marinating process is complete, add to the desired dish or eat solo! Be sure to finish the eggs in 2-3 days.
