Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 6 large large eggs Organic eggs are recommended for better flavor.
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce Use high-quality soy sauce for best results.
  • 1/4 cup water Can eyeball the amount if preferred.
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil Adds a nutty aroma.
  • 1 tablespoon sugar White or brown sugar can be used.
  • 2 teaspoons rice vinegar Optional; adds a nice zing.
  • 2 green onions, sliced Used for garnish.
  • sesame seeds Optional for sprinkling.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a pot of boiling water, gently lower the eggs in. Boil for about 9-10 minutes for a perfect hard-boil.
  2. Once boiled, transfer the eggs to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Optionally, add salt to the ice water for easier peeling.
  3. While the eggs cool, whisk together the soy sauce, water, sesame oil, sugar, and rice vinegar in a bowl.
  4. Peel the cooled eggs, making sure to use warm eggs for easier peeling.
  5. Place the peeled eggs in a container and pour the marinade over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  6. When ready to serve, slice the eggs in half, sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds as desired.

Notes

Serve the eggs in small bowls. Leftovers are even better the next day. For best results, don't skip the ice bath or use fresh eggs directly from the fridge.
