Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs
  • ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Boil the Eggs: Bring water to a rolling boil in a medium saucepan. Gently lower the eggs using a slotted spoon and boil for 6 minutes for a soft-boiled texture.
  2. Ice Bath: Transfer the boiled eggs to an ice bath for 5 minutes to halt cooking and ease peeling.
  3. Prepare Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and chopped green onions until combined.
  4. Peel Eggs: Tap each egg on the counter until cracks form; peel under cool running water for easy shell removal.
  5. Serve: Arrange peeled eggs on a platter and drizzle generously with the sauce. Garnish with extra green onions if desired.
  6. Enjoy: Savor your mayak eggs warm or chilled!
