Ingredients

Eggs

  • 6-8 eggs

Marinade

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (or Chinese dark vinegar)
  • 1 cup water (adjust to preference)
  • 2 tablespoons spring onion, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, finely chopped
  • 3 tablespoons fresh coriander, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chili (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

Instructions

  1. Preparing eggs: Place eggs in a pot with water, salt, and vinegar, and cook over medium heat for 10 to 15 minutes until hard boiled. Immediately soak the eggs in cold water for 5 minutes to stop cooking, then peel and slice the egg whites for better marinade absorption.
  2. Mixing the sauce: In a container, thoroughly combine garlic, spring onion, fresh chili, coriander, soy sauce, sugar, balsamic vinegar, toasted sesame seeds, sesame oil, and water. Stir well until all ingredients are fully integrated.
  3. Marinating the eggs: Add the peeled eggs to the marinade, making sure they are completely submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, though overnight marinating is recommended for maximum flavor penetration.

Notes

  • Adjust soy sauce and chili quantities to match your preferred saltiness and spiciness levels.
  • Balsamic vinegar can be substituted with Chinese dark vinegar for a more authentic flavor.
  • Marinate overnight to allow the eggs to absorb deeper flavors.
  • Serve marinated eggs chilled as a snack or as a flavorful topping for rice and noodle dishes.
  • Use fresh herbs and freshly toasted sesame seeds for best aroma and taste.
