Makes 6 eggs · 135 kcal per serving

Ingredients

• 300 g egg
• 120 g soy sauce
• 120 g water
• 36 g brown sugar
• 15 g garlic
• 51 g onion
• 36 g scallion
• 9 g sesame seeds
• 9 g sesame oil

Method

1. Eggs: Lower the eggs into boiling water and cook 9–10 min for firm yolks (6–7 min for jammy), then chill in ice water and peel.
2. Marinade: Stir the soy sauce, water, and sugar until the sugar dissolves, then mix in the garlic, onion, scallion, sesame seeds, and sesame oil.
3. Marinate: Submerge the peeled eggs in the marinade, pressing a sheet of paper towel onto the surface so the tops stay covered. Cover and refrigerate at least 6 h, ideally overnight, turning once. Serve halved over warm rice with a spoonful of the sauce and its aromatics. Keeps up to 4 days refrigerated.
