Ingredients

  • 1 cup soy sauce
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup green onions

Instructions

  • Put a pot of water on the stove to boil.
  • When water is boiling, carefully lower eggs into the water.
  • Boil for 7-8 minutes for a soft boil.
  • While boiling, prepare a bowl of cold ice water to put eggs into after they are boiling to stop the cooking process.
  • While eggs are cooling, make your sauce! Mix together soy sauce, water, sugar, sesame oil, and green onions, ensuring the sugar has completely dissolved.
  • When eggs have cooled completely, peel and place them into a container.
  • Pour the marinade over the eggs, gently stirring to ensure some marinade goes between every egg.
  • Leave eggs in marinade at least 4 hours. Enjoy!
