You will need:

4 eggs
1 apple cider vinegar
1 salt
½ cup light soy sauce
½ cup water
4 sugar
1 sesame seeds
1 shallot
3 garlic cloves
1 red chilli pepper
1 yellow chili pepper
honey

Preparation:

To make a flavorful dish of marinated eggs, start by adding apple cider vinegar and salt to a pot of boiling water. This will enhance the taste of the eggs. Once the water is boiling, carefully add the eggs and let them cook for about 7 minutes, until they are medium-boiled. Then, transfer the eggs to an ice water bath to cool for at least 10 minutes. This step is important as it helps to stop the cooking process and ensures that the eggs are easy to peel later on.

After the eggs have cooled, gently peel off the shells and set the eggs aside. Now, it’s time to prepare the marinade. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, water, sugar, shallot, garlic, red chilli pepper, and yellow chilli pepper.

Mix the marinade ingredients well until the sugar is fully dissolved and the flavours are evenly blended. Once the marinade is ready, place the peeled eggs into it, making sure that they are fully submerged. The longer you marinate the eggs, the more flavorful they will become. It is recommended to let the eggs marinate in the refrigerator overnight, or at least for 6 hours.

When you’re ready to serve the marinated eggs, remove them from the marinade and garnish them with honey, noodles, or rice, depending on your preference.
