Preparation
- In a bowl or a container, add the marinade ingredients and mix to combine, ensuring all the honey is scraped from the bottom.
- Add vinegar and salt to a pot of boiling water. Reduce the heat and gently place each egg into the water. Simmer for 6 minutes (or 10 minutes for hard-boiled eggs). Prepare a large bowl of ice water.
- When the timer goes off, immediately transfer the eggs to the ice water bath. Allow the eggs to cool completely, for at least 5-10 minutes.
- Gently peel the eggs and add them to the marinade. Cover tightly and store in the refrigerator overnight, or at least 6 hours.
- To serve, place the egg over a bed of rice and garnish with green onion, seaweed flakes, and/or sesame oil to your preference.
- These eggs serve as an excellent garnish over a bowl of noodles as well. Enjoy!
Notes
These marinated eggs will last about 3-4 days in the fridge. Any leftover marinade can be used for stir-frying vegetables, meats, or noodles. The sauce is very versatile, so you can also use it to add flavor to any of your other dishes.
