Ingredients needed 🛒4 servings
- eggs 10
- soy sauce 150g
- water 150g
- corn syrup to taste
- minced garlic 50g
- sesame seeds 20g
- onion 100g (half)
- green onions to taste
- green chili peppers to taste
- red chili peppers to taste
- vinegar 3 tablespoons (for boiling eggs)
- salt 2 tablespoons (for boiling eggs)
Recipe 🍳
- Pour enough water into a pot to cover the eggs, then add 3 tablespoons of vinegar and 2 tablespoons of salt.
- Once the water comes to a boil, gently place the eggs in and stir slowly for 7 minutes to cook them to soft-boiled.
- Immediately transfer the boiled eggs to cold water to cool completely, then peel off the shells.
- In a bowl, mix 150g of soy sauce, 150g of water, 50g of minced garlic, 20g of sesame seeds, and corn syrup to make the marinade.
- Finely chop 100g of onion, green onions, green chili peppers, and red chili peppers, then add them to the marinade.
- Place the peeled soft-boiled eggs into an airtight container and pour the prepared marinade over them.
- Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
- Boil eggs in water with vinegar and salt for 7 minutes to achieve soft-boiled texture.
- Cool the eggs in cold water and peel them.
- Mix soy sauce, water, corn syrup, chopped vegetables, and seasonings to create the sauce.
- Add the eggs to the sauce and refrigerate for 1 hour to marinate.
Cooking tips 💡
- Gently stirring the eggs while boiling helps the yolks stay centered and gives a neat cross-section.
- Avoid using a blender for garlic—it can make the broth cloudy; always mince it by hand for a cleaner look.
- Do not add sesame oil to the marinade ahead of time, as it may spoil quickly; instead, add it just before serving when mixing with rice.
