Korean Style Braised Eggs
Description
This recipe features large hard-boiled eggs peeled and simmered in a boiling mixture of soy sauce, brown sugar, water, rice wine, and white parts of green onion. The initial high heat dissolves the sugar and infuses the liquid before the heat is reduced for a gentle simmer. The eggs are lightly rolled in the sauce to ensure even flavor absorption and a lustrous finish.
The braising process lasts until the sauce reduces to about half a cup, concentrating the flavors around the eggs. This method imparts a balance of savory saltiness and mild sweetness with a subtle hint of aromatic onion.
The eggs may be served warm or cold, sliced into bite-sized pieces suitable for snacking or accompanying other Korean dishes. The sauce intensifies if allowed to cool with the eggs, enhancing the flavor over time.
Ingredients
- 6 egg shells removed, large, hard-boiled
- 4 Tbsp soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp brown sugar
- 1 cup water
- 2 Tbsp rice wine mirin
- 1 green onion 10 g / 0.35 ounces) (white parts only, stalk
Instructions
- Put the soy sauce, sugar, water, rice wine and green onion into a sauce pan and start boiling it on high heat.
- When the mixture in the sauce pan is rolling boiling (3-4 mins into the cooking), take out the green onion with some tongs and reduce the heat to medium.
- Add the hard-boiled eggs into the sauce pan gently and simmer until there are about 1/2 cup worth of the sauce left in the sauce pan (about 15 mins into the cooking). -While the eggs are being simmered, lightly roll them around in the sauce pan.
- Turn the heat off and cool down the eggs.
- Take out the eggs and slice them into a bite size and serve. (They can be served warm or cold but I think they taste better when slightly cold.)
Notes
- Use large hard-boiled eggs with shells removed before braising for best results.
- Measure liquids carefully: 1 tablespoon equals 15 ml, 1 cup equals 250 ml for accurate sauce balance.
