Equipment

Ingredients 

Eggs

  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 2 tablespoon white vinegar

Soy Marinade

  • 5 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 red chilis chopped
  • 1 jalapeño chopped
  • 2 green onions chopped
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • cup soy sauce
  • cup water
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

Garnishes

Instructions

  • In a large pot, add water (enough to submerge the eggs), salt, vinegar, and bring to a boil. Carefully add the eggs and boil for 6 mins for a soft, jammy yolk. Immediately transfer eggs to ice bath and let them cool for 5-10 mins before peeling.
  • While the eggs are cooling, add garlic, red chilis, jalapeno, scallions, sesame seeds, soy sauce, water, honey, and sesame oil to a large bowl or container and mix well. Set aside.
  • Carefully peel the eggs without breaking them. Add the eggs to the marinade, cover, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight preferred. If the eggs aren’t fully submerged, turn them occasionally to ensure even marinating.
  • Serve the eggs over warm rice and garnish with extra scallions and a drizzle of chili oil.
