Main Ingredients
- 8 Baked eggs
- 2 King oyster mushrooms
Braising Sauce
- 3 Tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp Plum extract (Maesil-cheong)
- 1/2 Tbsp Ginger syrup
- 1 Tbsp Cooking wine (Mirin/Cheongju)
- 2 Tbsp Water
- 1 tsp Sesame oil (optional)
- 3 Tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp Plum extract (Maesil-cheong)
- 1/2 Tbsp Ginger syrup
- 1 Tbsp Cooking wine (Mirin/Cheongju)
- 2 Tbsp Water
- 1 tsp Sesame oil (optional)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Slice the king oyster mushrooms into round, bite-sized pieces, about 1 cm thick. Cutting them in a circular shape makes them more appealing to eat.
Step 2
Using pre-baked eggs from the store makes this recipe even easier. Peel the shells off the baked eggs and then cut each egg into 4 wedges. The firm texture of the baked egg complements the braising liquid beautifully.
Step 3
In a small pot, combine the soy sauce, plum extract, ginger syrup, cooking wine, and water. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat to create the braising sauce. Stir occasionally as it boils to ensure the ingredients are well mixed.
Step 4
Once the sauce is boiling, add the sliced king oyster mushrooms first. Gently stir them to coat with the sauce and let them simmer for about 2-3 minutes. Braising the mushrooms first will help tenderize them and allow them to absorb the flavors.
Step 5
After the mushrooms have softened slightly, carefully add the quartered baked eggs to the pot. Using a spoon or ladle, spoon the braising liquid over the eggs as they simmer. Continue to braise for about 5-7 minutes, turning the eggs occasionally, so they are well coated and flavored by the sauce.
Step 6
When the braising liquid has reduced to a slightly syrupy consistency, turn off the heat. Finish by drizzling a teaspoon of sesame oil over the top for added aroma and flavor. This optional step enhances the overall taste. Your delicious soy-braised baked eggs are now ready!
