Ingredients for Soy Pickled Eggs:
Method of preparing the Soy Pickled Eggs:
-
In a bowl, dissolve the sugar in the warm water, and then stir in the rice vinegar and soy sauce.
-
Bring a big pot of water to a boil. Carefully submerge the eggs and cook them for precisely 7 minutes. For the first two minutes of cooking, we recommend stirring the water to help them cook evenly.
-
While the eggs are boiling, prepare a big bowl of ice. When the eggs are cooked, place them directly into the ice to halt the cooking process immediately.
-
When the eggs are cool to the touch, peel and submerge them in the soy sauce mixture. Refrigerate. Let the eggs marinate for 2 to 6 hours.
-
Remove the eggs from the marinade and serve immediately or seal the eggs in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to a month.
-
Before serving, cut each egg lengthwise into half and season with flaky salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Chef's Tip:
Save the marinade and use it to make another batch of soy pickled eggs.
