Description

Delightfully marinated soy sauce eggs infused with garlic and rich flavors, perfect for any meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs
  • ¾ cup soy sauce
  • 3 garlic cloves, grated
  • 1½ tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1½ tablespoons sugar
  • 2 cups water

Instructions

  1. Prepare a bowl with cold water and enough ice cubes to create an icy bath. Set aside.
  2. In a medium saucepan, bring enough water to cover the eggs to a rolling boil. Carefully drop eggs into the water and boil for 7 minutes for a runny yolk or 7½ minutes for a firmer yolk.
  3. After the desired cooking time, remove the eggs from the pan and place them into the ice bath. Leave them submerged for 2 minutes or until cool enough to handle.
  4. Under slow running water, deshell the eggs and place them on a paper towel to remove any excess water.
  5. In a small saucepan, combine the soy sauce, grated garlic, rice vinegar, sugar, and water. Bring this mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 3 minutes. Remove from heat and allow it to cool to room temperature.
  6. Pour the soy sauce mixture into a medium or large bowl. Add the eggs and cover them completely with the marinade. Steep the eggs in the soy sauce mixture for at least 12-24 hours before consuming.

Notes

For a unique twist, consider adding ginger or chili flakes to the marinade. Store eggs submerged in the soy sauce mixture for optimal freshness.
