- Boil some water. Gently place the eggs in the boiling water, lowering the heat just a tad so that the water is bubbling but not so strong that the eggs are kicking around inside your pot. If you’re using quail eggs, boil for 3 minutes. If you’re using chicken eggs, boil them for 6-8 minutes depending on the size of the eggs. I used medium-sized eggs and boiled them for 7 minutes, which yielded a soft, squishy yolk. If you want a really runny yolk, go for 6.
- a malted vinegar ice bath (simply malted vinegar + lots of ice).
- Transfer the eggs directly from the boiling water into the ice bath. Make sure they’re completely covered.
- Leave them in the ice bath for between 3-4 hours.
- Take them out and carefully peel the shells off the eggs.
- Then place the eggs into whatever liquid you want to steep them in.
- If you want to make a typical soy sauce egg marinade for example, you can combine 1 cup light soy sauce, 2 tablespoons dark soy sauce, 1 cup water, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and 10 ginger slices (bring to a boil and then cool).
- Leave the eggs in the liquid for at least 3-5 hours. You can store the eggs and the liquid in the fridge. But when eating, bring the eggs back to room temperature.
