Braised Soy Eggs (No Broth Method)
The Ultimate Recipe for Savory and Sweet Braised Eggs with No Broth, Loved by the Whole Family!
Hello everyone, this is Minggle, your nutritionist! Today, I’ve made braised soy eggs with no broth. Let’s get started!
Main Ingredients- 7 Hard-boiled eggs
Braising Sauce- 9g Minced garlic (approx. 1.5 tsp)
- 50ml Soy sauce (1/2 dl)
- 1 Tbsp White sugar
Finishing Touches- A little Sesame oil
- 9g Minced garlic (approx. 1.5 tsp)
- 50ml Soy sauce (1/2 dl)
- 1 Tbsp White sugar
Finishing Touches- A little Sesame oil
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, gather all the ingredients for the braising sauce and mix them well. Measure and combine the minced garlic, soy sauce, and white sugar in a bowl. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved. Preparing the sauce in advance will make the cooking process much smoother.
Step 2
Place the 7 peeled hard-boiled eggs snugly in a pot. Add enough water to cover the eggs and turn the heat to high. Handle the eggs carefully to prevent them from cracking.
Step 3
Once the water in the pot comes to a rolling boil, add all the pre-mixed braising sauce. Gently stir to ensure the sauce coats the eggs evenly.
Step 4
Now, maintain high heat and let it simmer until the liquid reduces significantly, becoming syrupy. Gently swirl the pot occasionally to prevent the eggs from sticking and burning, and to ensure the sauce is distributed evenly. You’ll notice the liquid gradually evaporating.
Step 5
Rinse the bowl used for the sauce with about 1-2 tablespoons of water. This reserved water will be used later to help control the consistency. While optional, this step is helpful for achieving the perfect glaze at the end.
Step 6
As the liquid in the pot almost completely evaporates, turn off the heat for a moment. Be cautious, as prolonged high heat can cause the eggs to stick to the bottom.
Step 7
With the heat off, pour the reserved water from the bowl into the pot. This will help keep the eggs moist and allow the sauce to penetrate better without them drying out completely. Turn the heat back on to medium-low to continue simmering.
Step 8
Simmer until the liquid reduces again and a glossy coating forms on the eggs, then turn off the heat. Over-simmering can make the eggs tough, so it’s best to turn off the heat when they look slightly less glazed than you desire.
Step 9
Finally, with the heat off, drizzle about one or two drops of sesame oil into the pot. The nutty aroma of sesame oil will add an extra layer of deliciousness to your braised eggs.
Step 10
Transfer the finished braised eggs to a serving dish. Toss them gently with the sesame oil for a beautiful sheen. These soy-braised eggs make an absolutely perfect side dish for rice!
Step 11
Tip! If you desire a deeper brown color and a richer flavor, repeat steps 7 and 8. After braising the eggs, add a little water, simmer again until reduced, and finish with sesame oil. Repeating this process will intensify both the color and taste.
