Kim Jin-sun's Soft-Boiled Egg Jang

Eggs are boiled for exactly 6 minutes to keep the yolks moist, then a special boiled-and-cooled soy sauce is poured over to create a banchan shop-style egg jang.

Ingredients needed 10 servings

Cooking tips

  • Eggs can crack easily if placed directly into boiling water, so soaking them in lukewarm water beforehand reduces thermal shock.
  • Boiling the soy sauce brings out the umami of the oyster sauce and greatly extends refrigerator storage life.
  • Adding chopped carrot to the seasoning releases natural sweetness and umami, making it delicious without adding sugar.
