Description
A flavorful twist on traditional eggs, marinated in a savory soy sauce blend that enhances their natural richness.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 2 green onions, chopped
Instructions
- Soft boil the eggs: Start by carefully placing the eggs into boiling water. Set the timer for 7 minutes, allowing the whites to set while the yolk remains wonderfully creamy. After the timer dings, transfer them immediately to your ice water bath.
- Prepare the marinade: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, water, sugar, sesame oil, and minced garlic until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Peel the eggs: Once the eggs have cooled, gently peel them under running water to ensure the shells come off easily.
- Marinate the eggs: Place the peeled eggs into a container, pour the prepared marinade over them, and sprinkle the chopped green onions atop.
- Let them soak: Cover the container and place it in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or overnight for optimal flavor.
- Enjoy: Serve the eggs cold or at room temperature as a savory snack, salad topper, or ramen enhancement.
Notes
Marinated eggs can last up to a week in the fridge. Experiment with different flavors and pairs for a unique experience.
