Korean Marinated Eggs

These addictive Korean Marinated Eggs are a sweet and savory treat, perfect as a snack, side dish, or part of a main meal.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 Eggs
  • 2 tsp Salt
  • 2 tbsp Vinegar
  • 6 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 2 Korean Green Pepper (chopped)
  • 1 Red Chili (chopped & optional)
  • 3 Green Onion (chopped & optional)
  • 1 tbsp Sesame Seeds
  • 1 cup Soy Sauce
  • ½ cup Honey
  • 1 tbsp Sesame Oil (optional)
  • ½ cup Water

Instructions

  1. In a pot, add enough water to cover all the eggs and then add salt and vinegar. Turn the heat to medium-high and bring the water to a simmer.
  2. Once the water is boiling, carefully add the eggs and let them cook for 6 minutes.
  3. After 6 minutes, remove the eggs and place them in a bowl of ice water for at least 10 minutes. Once cooled, peel them carefully and set them aside.
  4. In a container, mix together the minced garlic, chopped green peppers, red chili, green onions, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, and water until well combined.
  5. Add the peeled eggs to the marinade, ensuring they are fully covered. Let the eggs rest in the fridge for at least 2 hours, but overnight is even better.
  6. Serve the marinated eggs with a bowl of hot rice and enjoy!

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the eggs overnight. Adjust spice level with more or less red chili.
