Ingredients
Scale
6 large eggs
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon sugar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1-inch piece ginger, sliced
Optional: star anise or dried chili peppers
Instructions
Fill a saucepan with water, enough to cover the eggs completely. Gently add the eggs, bring the water to a boil, and then cover and reduce the heat to simmer for 8-10 minutes for hard-boiled eggs.
While the eggs are cooking, combine the soy sauce, water, sugar, minced garlic, and sliced ginger in a separate bowl. Stir well until the sugar dissolves completely.
Once the eggs are cooked, remove them and place them in ice water for about five minutes. Peel the eggs under running water if needed.
Place the peeled eggs in the soy sauce mixture, ensuring they are fully submerged. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for deeper flavor.
Slice the marinated eggs in half and serve as a side dish, snack, or atop steamed rice.
