Equipment
- 1 large container or bowl
Ingredients
- 8 eggs
- 1 Tbsp finely chopped garlic about 2 garlic cloves
- 1 Tbsp chopped green onion about 1 green onion
- 1/4-1/2 tsp dried chili flakes can also use Korean hot peppers, called Gochu (고추). Use as much or as little to your spiciness preferences
- 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 1 Tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil
- 1 cup water use less for a more intense flavor
- 1 Tbsp sesame seeds
Instructions
- Boil the eggs: Take a small metal spoon and gently tap each bottom of the egg shell. This will make the boiled eggs easier to peel. Fill a medium saucepan with cold tap water to cover the eggs. Turn the heat to high and boil eggs. Once boiling, reduce heat to low for 6-8 minutes. Soak the eggs in ice cold water for 5 minutes before peeling.
- For the sauce: In a large bowl or container, add garlic, green onion, chili flakes, soy sauce, honey, vinegar, sesame oil, water and sesame seeds. Mix well to combine.
- To marinate the eggs: Add peeled eggs. Ensure they are fully covered with the marinade. Cover with plastic wrap or lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
