Ingredients
- 6 large eggs (fresh, preferably free-range or organic)
- 1–2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil (high-quality for best flavor)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- Ice cubes (for the ice bath)
- Optional extras: Soy sauce, chili flakes, or fresh herbs like cilantro or scallions
Instructions
- Step 1: Boil the Eggs
Fill a pot with enough water to cover the eggs and bring it to a rolling boil.
Gently lower the eggs into the boiling water using a spoon to prevent cracking.
Set a timer for 6-7 minutes for jammy yolks.
- Step 2: Ice Bath Time
While the eggs boil, prepare an ice bath by filling a bowl with cold water and ice cubes.
Once the timer goes off, transfer the eggs to the ice bath using a slotted spoon.
Let them chill for 5 minutes to stop the cooking process.
- Step 3: Peel Like a Pro
Gently tap each egg on the counter to crack the shell, then roll it to loosen it.
Peel under running water to remove any stubborn bits.
- Step 4: Slice and Drizzle
Cut the eggs in half lengthwise and arrange them on a plate.
Drizzle generously with toasted sesame oil.
- Step 5: Season and Serve
Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and optional toppings like chili flakes or fresh herbs.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Fresh eggs are harder to peel but taste better. Older eggs peel more easily.
- Adjust the boiling time by 30 seconds to customize yolk consistency.
- Store leftover peeled eggs in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- Experiment with toppings like soy sauce, chili flakes, or fresh herbs for extra flavor.
