Korean Marinated Eggs are soft-boiled eggs soaked in a flavorful soy-based marinade, perfect for topping rice bowls, ramen, or enjoyed as a savory snack. The marinade combines soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, and chili peppers for a rich, umami-packed taste with a hint of spice.

Ingredients

Scale

Eggs

  • 6 to 8 large eggs

Marinade

  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • 1 to 2 chili peppers, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Prepare ice bath and boiling water: Fill a bowl with ice and cold water to create an ice bath. Bring a pot of water to a gentle boil on the stove.
  2. Mix the marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, water, sesame oil, brown sugar, minced garlic, chopped green onions, sliced chili peppers, and toasted sesame seeds. Stir until sugar is dissolved.
  3. Cook the eggs: Gently lower room temperature eggs into the boiling water and cook for 6 to 6.5 minutes for a soft, custardy yolk. Immediately transfer the eggs to the prepared ice bath to stop cooking and cool completely.
  4. Peel the eggs: Once the eggs are cool, carefully peel off the shells without breaking the tender whites.
  5. Marinate the eggs: Place the peeled eggs into a container and pour the prepared marinade over them, making sure the eggs are fully submerged.
  6. Refrigerate: Cover the container and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, turning the eggs halfway through to ensure even marination.
  7. Serve: Slice the marinated eggs and serve them over rice, noodles, or enjoy them on their own. Spoon some of the marinade over the eggs for extra flavor.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs for best cooking results and to prevent cracking in boiling water.
  • The marinating time can be adjusted to taste; longer marination will deepen the flavor.
  • For a spicier kick, add more chili peppers or include a little chili oil in the marinade.
  • These eggs keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Can be served warm or cold depending on your preference.
