Korean Mrinated Eggs breakfast

Korean Mrinated Eggs breakfast

Soft soy-marinated eggs served over warm rice with kimchi, green onions, and sesame seeds for a savory, satisfying breakfast bowl.

  • Total Time: 22 minutes, plus 4 hours marinating time
  • Yield: 3 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 3 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 3 cups cooked white rice, warm
  • 1 cup kimchi

Instructions

  1. Bring a medium saucepan of water to a gentle boil and prepare a bowl of ice water.
  2. In a medium bowl or container, stir together the soy sauce, water, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, sliced green onions, and sesame seeds until well combined.
  3. Carefully lower the eggs into the boiling water and cook for 6 to 7 minutes for jammy yolks.
  4. Transfer the eggs immediately to the ice bath and cool for 5 minutes, then peel them gently.
  5. Place the peeled eggs into the marinade, making sure they are mostly submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
  6. Divide the warm rice between 3 bowls and add kimchi to the side of each bowl.
  7. Slice the marinated eggs in half and arrange them over the rice. Spoon a little marinade over the rice.
  8. Finish with extra green onions and sesame seeds, then serve immediately.

Notes

  • For the best texture, do not overcook the eggs.
  • Overnight marinating gives the deepest flavor.
  • Warm rice creates the best contrast with the cool marinated eggs.
  • Store the eggs in their marinade in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
