Description
Deliciously marinated eggs infused with rich soy sauce and garlic flavors, perfect as a snack or in meals.
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- ¾ cup soy sauce
- 3 garlic cloves, grated
- 1½ tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1½ tablespoons sugar
- 2 cups water
Instructions
- Prepare an ice bath in a bowl with cold water and ice cubes.
- Boil enough water in a medium saucepan to cover the eggs.
- Carefully add the eggs to the boiling water and cook for 7 minutes for runny yolks or 7½ minutes for firmer yolks. Swirl the water for the first 1½ minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Transfer the eggs to the ice bath for 2 minutes to halt the cooking process.
- Peel the eggs under slow running water to help remove the shell without damage.
- In a separate saucepan, combine the soy sauce, grated garlic, rice vinegar, sugar, and water.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 3 minutes before allowing the mixture to cool to room temperature.
- Pour the cooled soy sauce mixture over the peeled eggs in a bowl and cover it.
- Allow the eggs to steep in the soy sauce mixture for 12–24 hours before serving.
Notes
Store the eggs submerged in the soy sauce mixture for 4-5 days to maintain flavor and texture. For a stronger garlic flavor, let it sit longer.
