Tender Air Fryer Soft-Boiled Eggs Marinated in Soy Sauce – An Effortless Delight
Experience the ultimate convenience and deliciousness with this instant soy sauce marinated egg recipe, made using perfectly cooked air fryer soft-boiled eggs! These eggs, with their wonderfully jiggly whites and creamy yolks, are not just a side dish but a delightful snack. This recipe is an upgraded version of the popular ‘addictive soy sauce eggs,’ where you can prepare the eggs in the air fryer, pour over the savory marinade, and store them in the refrigerator. Please note that air fryer performance can vary, so adjust cooking times as needed.
Main Ingredients- 6 eggs
- 1 Cheongyang chili pepper (or other hot green pepper)
- 1 red chili pepper
- 3 Tbsp minced onion
Soft-Boiled Egg Marinade- 1 Tbsp soy sauce (brewed or light soy sauce)
- 1 Tbsp oligosaccharide (adjust sweetness to taste)
- 1 Tbsp water
- 1 Tbsp plum extract (or a pinch of sugar if unavailable)
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil
- 1 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds
- A little lemon juice (optional, for added freshness)
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce (brewed or light soy sauce)
- 1 Tbsp oligosaccharide (adjust sweetness to taste)
- 1 Tbsp water
- 1 Tbsp plum extract (or a pinch of sugar if unavailable)
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil
- 1 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds
- A little lemon juice (optional, for added freshness)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Arrange 6 eggs in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are in a single layer. Cook at 150℃ (300℉) for 8 minutes. (For a slightly firmer yolk, cook at 160℃ (320℉) for 8 minutes.) Immediately transfer the cooked eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool them down, then carefully peel off the shells.
Step 2
Slice the cooled soft-boiled eggs in half. Admire the perfectly set, delicate yolk – the hallmark of a ‘Gamdongran’ (touching egg). While delicious on their own, they become truly special when marinated.
Step 3
Cut the Cheongyang and red chili peppers in half lengthwise, remove the seeds, and finely mince them. Mince the onion finely as well.
Step 4
In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, oligosaccharide, water, plum extract, sesame oil, and toasted sesame seeds. Stir well to create the marinade. Add the minced chili peppers and minced onion to the marinade and mix thoroughly. (Tip: If you want to make ‘addictive soy sauce eggs,’ prepare a larger batch of marinade, enough to submerge the eggs completely, and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.)
Step 5
Spoon a generous amount of the prepared marinade over the halved soft-boiled eggs. You can enjoy them immediately, or chill them in the refrigerator for a while to allow the flavors to meld. These marinated eggs are a fantastic side dish for rice or a satisfying snack!
