Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Asian-Style Soy Marinated Eggs
  1. Start by placing 6-8 medium-sized eggs in a pot filled with cold water. Add a teaspoon of salt and a splash of vinegar. Heat on high until boiling, then simmer for 10-15 minutes.
  2. Transfer eggs to an ice water bath for about 5 minutes. Peel them under running water to remove the shell.
  3. In a medium container, combine garlic, spring onion, fresh chili, coriander, soy sauce, sugar, balsamic vinegar, and water. Stir well.
  4. Place the peeled eggs into the marinade, ensuring they are submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best flavor.
