Ingredients
Steps
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Carefully lower the eggs into the water and boil for exactly 6 minutes and 30 seconds for a perfect jammy yolk.
Immediately transfer the eggs to an ice water bath for 10 minutes to stop the cooking process and make them easier to peel.
In a bowl or airtight container, whisk together the soy sauce, water, sugar, minced garlic, chopped green onions, sliced chili, sesame seeds, and sesame oil until the sugar is dissolved.
Peel the eggs carefully and submerge them in the marinade.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate the eggs.
Notes
Best served over a bowl of hot steamed white rice with a spoonful of the marinade drizzled on top. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
