Korean Marinated Soy Eggs

Korean Marinated Soy Eggs

Soft jammy eggs marinated in a savory soy sauce mixture with garlic, green onions, honey, and sesame seeds. These flavorful eggs are easy to make and perfect over rice, noodles, or as a quick snack.

  • Total Time: 22 minutes, plus marinating time
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Bring a medium saucepan of water to a gentle boil over medium-high heat. Prepare a bowl of ice water nearby.
  2. In a mixing bowl, stir together the soy sauce, water, honey, chopped garlic, sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and red pepper flakes if using until the honey dissolves.
  3. Carefully lower the eggs into the boiling water and cook for 7 minutes for jammy yolks.
  4. Transfer the eggs immediately to the ice bath and let them cool for about 5 minutes.
  5. Peel the cooled eggs gently and place them in a storage container.
  6. Pour the marinade over the eggs, making sure they are mostly submerged.
  7. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best flavor.
  8. To serve, cut the eggs in half and spoon some marinade, garlic, and green onions over the top.

Notes

  • For the best flavor, marinate the eggs overnight.
  • Use a smaller container so the marinade covers the eggs more evenly.
  • Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Freezing is not recommended because the texture of the egg whites can change.
