Main Ingredients- 12 baked or hard-boiled eggs
- 1 Cheongyang pepper
- 1 red chili pepper
- 2 stalks of green onions
- 5 cloves of garlic
- 2/3 cup (approx. 130ml) beef bone broth or kelp broth
Seasoning- 5 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce (approx. 75ml)
- 1 tsp Ttuyu (soy sauce seasoning) (approx. 5ml)
- 5 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce (approx. 75ml)
- 1 tsp Ttuyu (soy sauce seasoning) (approx. 5ml)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare your eggs. If using baked eggs, peel them carefully. If using hard-boiled eggs, peel them after cooking.
Step 2
Finely chop the Cheongyang pepper and red chili pepper to add a spicy flavor, and chop the green onions for a fresh aroma. Wash all peppers and green onions thoroughly before chopping. You can remove the seeds from the chili peppers to adjust the spiciness.
Step 3
Mince the garlic cloves finely with a knife. Minced garlic integrates better into the sauce than using a blender, enhancing the depth of flavor. You can also set aside some minced garlic for garnish.
Step 4
In a pot or deep pan, combine the beef bone broth (or kelp broth), low-sodium soy sauce, Ttuyu, and minced garlic. Stir well to mix the ingredients. Pre-mixing the sauce helps ensure even seasoning.
Step 5
Once the broth begins to boil, carefully add the prepared eggs to the pot. Avoid stirring too vigorously to prevent the eggs from breaking.
Step 6
After adding the eggs, add the chopped Cheongyang and red chili peppers. Simmer over medium-low heat for about 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce thickens to your liking. Gently roll the eggs occasionally to ensure they are evenly coated with the sauce.
Step 7
When the sauce has reduced and is slightly thickened, turn off the heat. Arrange the eggs attractively in a serving dish. Spoon the remaining sauce and vegetables over the eggs to complete your delicious low-sodium soy-braised eggs.
