Eggcelent video! For those that this may pertain to, if soy sauce is a bit expensive to use at this amount, I saw a Japanese food content creator (forgot her name) put it in a ziplock bag and then suck the air out so the eggs all are marinated relatively evenly but at a fraction of the liquids needed! I do this since I tend to notice in about 3-4 uses my soy sauce bottle is completely empty.

How do you suck the air out?

You can also displace the air with water..just put the bag in water and let the air get pushed out then zip it

The cold water stops the eggs from cooking further. My mom swears by salting the water while the eggs are cooking to help the shell break off easier.

A splash of vinegar in the water helps with the shells as well.

[@Qwerty-wd2ci]

A little explanation concerning the science in boiled eggs :) The salt and vinegar in boiling water when cooking eggs doesn't actually help the egg shells break easier, instead it helps prevent the egg white from seeping out if the egg is cracked, this is because acids (like the vinegar) will help lower the temperature needed for coagulation in the egg white and alkalis (like salt) help induce the gelling of the egg white. Technically the vinegar could help make the egg shell more fragile as it would react with the calcium carbonate in the shell turning it into carbon dioxide, though this happens over long periods of time with a strong vinegar that isn't diluted with water. This is what happens in the rubber egg science experiment btw. Pricking the egg is meant to allow for 2 things, first to remove the air bubble in the egg (as shown in the video at 6:05) to allow for a smooth bottom and therefore slightly more even cooking (but I believe this is mostly just for aesthetics) and second, a way to help the membrane of the egg separate from the egg to make peeling the egg a bit easier. The membrane separates from the egg because water and steam can get inbetween the white and the egg membrane and/or shell Finally the cold water stops the egg from cooking anymore, this is to help you get the perfect jammy or liquid yolks without either, a ring of hardboiled egg yolk or a raw egg white around the yolk. I read somewhere that if you crack the egg, through rolling on the counter, then putting them in the cold water will help make the egg easier to peel as water can get inbetween the white, the membrane and the shell separating them. Hope this answered any of your questions

I have always done the rolling on the counter method, followed by peeling them in the same bowl of ice water they cooled down in. I have also heard that the ice water contracts the agg slightly, facilitating to separate it from the surrounding shell, but I/m not sure if that last part is true. I always tap the ends of the eggs first, roll them on the counter, put them back ing the water, then peel. Sometimes, if I’m lucky, the egg practically falls off as I’m rolling it. I always dip them back in the water anyway, to rinse off any tiny little shards that may remain. My favorite way of cooking whole eggs is in one of the commercial convection steamers where I work, where I can cook anywhere from a single egg, to a couple of hundred at a time (though I never had occasion to do more than 30-60 at a time). Of course that kind off steamer costs several thousands of dollars used, and tens of thousands when new.

[@mommabscrochetkitchen2439]

Looks great ☺️ When cooling the eggs, crack the shell as you put it in the cold water. The cold water will cause the egg to shrink and the water will get in between the egg and the shell helping it to peel easily.

[@luci4087]

they taste better when they’ve been marinating for 36-48hrs versus 24hrs. might need to give them a stir or rotate them to make sure they’re marinated all over depending on the container you’re using and how much liquid is in it. they’re delicious as is, with rice and some sesame oil or perilla oil on top, etc.

For perfect soft boiled eggs drop them into already boiling water, cook 7 minutes, remove and put in bowl of ice and water. Made them last night for my ramen and they were still perfect soft boiled after sitting in the hot ramen for a few minutes. Peel them in the ice water as the water helps separate the shell and rinse smaller shell bits.

[@BadMelody.]

Yup. Idk everyone says to start with cold water, I always do already boiling water and basically never have issues with peeling. The only issue is that the raw eggs can sometimes burst if you just drop them in, but it rarely happens if you kinda bob them in and out of the water a couple times before leaving them in.

[@alexclark4792]

Information which I've noticed almost ALL cooks making videos on social media leave out EVERY SINGLE TIME are two critically important pieces of information for their viewers (who all aspire to make their delicious recipes too): 1. How long can you keep leftovers in the fridge? 2. Can you freeze certain things? I'm unsure why cooks never think to tell us. Helen at Modern Pepper is EXCELLENT for giving advice on the approximate lifespan of her dishes, freezing suitability etc. I'd never have made jujube tea paste if I hadn't known I could freeze the whole tub; I could never use up a fridge-dwelling tub of fresh paste in a week but in the freezer, well now we're talking. I cook much more when I understand the science and get loads of pro tips. Genuine game changers. Thanks for reading and perhaps considering.

I made this once as a side for dinner. Now I'm making this once a week because my family can't get enough of these eggs.

[@mgmcd1]

Pricking the bottom allows the air trapped in the eggs to escape, giving you an egg shaped egg, rather than having a large divot in the bottom from the trapped air. It also reduces the greening of the yolk you can get from that air. So perfectly egg shaped eggs with bright yellow yokes.

[@ShevaSmash]

The fresher the eggs are, the more difficult they will be to peel. It's always best to use older eggs for hard boiling because air gets into the eggs, creating an air pocket, which makes peeling much easier.

[@tonyawhitten5199]

Very true.

[@MystRunner916]

Hey deviled egg addict here. To help peel your eggs better use OLD eggs. The older the better and we've NEVER had any luck with farm fresh eggs peeling right no matter the age. Ice bath your eggs after they are done boiling then peel under running water. Don't bother with the vinegar it's honestly completely unneeded. My family has also never really bothered with pricking the egg bottoms but it would do the same as a double boiled Chinese tea egg in releasing the membrane from the egg due to allowing the water to enter the shell. Hope these tips help you in your egg boiling. I'm going to defiantly try this recipe out.

[@WeWillAlwaysHaveVALIS]

Oh man I haven't had devilled eggs since I was a kid, I proper fancy one now lol

[@raze667]

you're supposed to use ice water if you want to "shock" the eggs. It causes the cooked egg inside to rapidly contract, loosening the inner membrane a little bit, and stops the cooking process. It does make it a little easier to peel. You can also put a paper towel on top of your eggs to coat the top of the eggs with the sauce as it marinates.

[@isbilen1000]

There's a science/food culture teacher from Norway who made a cookbook together with some finnish researchers, who did a lot of experiments one eggs, and came to the conclusion that there's no real merit to prodding the bottom of the egg. Iirc, it boiled down to the shell is porous enough for a chicken fetus to get oxygen (pun partially intended), and there's the layer of film that's on the inside of the shell. Water shouldn't penetrate that film, so it won't help loosening the egg from the "egg skin" either. The book was called "A Pinch of Culinary Science", and had some other entertaining experiments and kitchen myths in it

Adding a teaspoon of baking soda to your water helps your eggs peel easier. I also like using a pressure cooker like an instant pot to boil eggs. It works even better than baking soda to help your eggs peel easier. Thank you for the recipe. I'm going to try this. Have a nice day.

[@valerie2842]

The cold water is to stop the eggs from cooking any further. You need to have the water boiling before you drop the eggs in, that shocks the membrane away from the white of the egg making it easier to peel. Peeling them under running water also helps them peel easier.

[@phialie]

Pricking the bottom pops the membrane in the egg & breaks the vacuum seal inside. It can help when peeling them later if your eggs are particularly fresh so you don't lose a bunch of the white stuck to the inside of the shell/membrane. And putting them in cold water stops the cooking process. They're so hot they'll keep right on cooking past the stage you want them even out of the water.

[@matthewmellott1856]

There is an air pocket on the bottom of the egg. Poking a small hole on the bottom of the egg before cooking allows for water circulation between said egg and it’s shell. When you place the eggs in the bowl. You stir the eggs gently in the boiling water for one minute. Pull eggs out after the 6 minute cook and place them in your ice bath and continue to stir for another minute. Then let rest until the eggs come to temperature. This circulation created when stirring is what allows the shells to peel off smoothly while also creating a more centered egg yolk during the cooking process.

[@Wibboo]

You're one of the few content makers who actually gives amounts. Thank you! Also sugar is important. Without it, it is very salty. You could also add Mirin instead

[@Beibyface]

If you want eggs that peel easily, put them in boiling water directly, then into cold water after cooking.

[@C51819]

This is the answer.

[@ronsandahl274]

One thing that would make the peeling MUCH easier is to steam the eggs rather than boil them. The ultra-hot steam hitting the eggshell causes the membrane inside between the egg and shell to stick to the shell, rather than the egg. This membrane is what usually binds to both the shell and the egg white and makes the egg hard to peel. It also takes a fraction of the time to cook the egg. I have been doing this for years and in that time I have rarely had a hard-to-peel egg. Pro-tip: when making things where I need to cook cut-up potato, like potato salad, I steam that as well - it takes a fraction of the time, the potatoes cook perfectly and are rarely mushy.

[@D_Ella1269]

What pots etc do you use to steam eggs or potatoes?

[@BadMelody.]

​@@D_Ella1269I imagine you just need any pot with a lid and a steamer basket. The type of pot would probably only matter when considering how much of something you're gonna cook.

[@MissDLinx]

When you prick or tap the bottom of the egg until you hear a snap, what that’s doing is detaching the membrane from the interior of the shell. This allows the shell to peel off a bit easier once boiled.

[@FeOfTheElement]

Best way to peel eggs, for future reference, is defo with a teaspoon. Crack the whole egg (after its been cooked ofc) and then start at the top, sticking the teaspoon between the egg and the shell and helter-sceltering down. comes off perfectly every time in one go

[@Jeni10]

Immersing boiled eggs into cold water immediately after cooking, prevents the outside of the yolks from turning grey. It’s easier to shell the eggs by smacking them all over with the back of a teaspoon until all of the shell is has cracks in it. The Chinese do this with a different combination of spices including star anise and soy sauce. Yum!

[@amandapittar9398]

When you opened the dish straight from the fridge, the eggs floating in the liquid looked like a lovely designer fabric. That’s what I love about Asian cooking. It’s a delight and beauty for your eyes as much as for your stomach. Now this may seem odd. I’m allergic, or highly reactive, to egg yolk. I also keep 4 beautiful & productive chooks ( Tippy, Tappy, Hetty & Betty) so we get 4 eggs a day. Sometimes a little Fart Egg. They are still sub One Year. I’m going to use this recipe as everyone else here loves eggs and Asian food - double win. 🙏 Thank you xxxx

[@kristiscabanashorts]

I started to make these about 2 years ago when I got hooked on making homemade ramen. I am not Asian I am white af, but everyone kept saying to use ajitama but I liked the recipe for Mayak better so that's what I use. However, I stopped making ramen because it was so high in sodium and just make the mayak now and use Mrs. Taste Shoyu for the soy sauce part of the recipe and they are so damn good. My mom who doesn't even love eggs and never had mayak just SMELLED the "marinade" and wanted to try it haha and she did and said they were really good. Anyway this is one of those super simple (cheap) and good recipes I think everyone should try at least once!

I feel like the internet even intrudes in on my spending. I just bought eggs.

I'm 41 now. & There's only so much overspending, unhealthy eating out 1 can do. & I actually like most of the food I grew up on. But my fav version of eggs is the garlicy soy sauced omelette kind. Also also the internet can make anything look interesting. So that's what those other Asians on the opposite side of the world are up to & sound like.

[@daniellapain1576]

I found a very addicting way to make boiled style eggs the easy way by just baking them in cupcake tins. It turns the shell brittle for a very simple peel with them coming out smooth more often. I forget the temps and time but I stopped boiling when I discovered this. Also roll your eggs back and forth to center the yolk before cooking.

[@No-No-No-1]

Same! I add a little water to keep from getting little brown spots...large eggs, bake at 325° for 30 minutes

[@DrHWTse]

Start with cold eggs from the fridge, add the egg to boiling liquid and simmer for 6.5min for soft boil (punch a small pin hole on the fatter end of the egg releases the trapped air inside, so preventing your egg to crack badly), cool cooked eggs in cold water and you will now find peeling then very easy....

[@thecougarprince]

Always run your eggs under cold water while peeling. The water pressure alone gets in between the shell and the egg and helps to peel it for you but the temperature of the water also helps separate the two

[@NemoSumNullus]

You can get exact cooking times for cold med hard boiled egg if your water is at a rolling boil before you put the eggs in. leave the eggs out of the fridge until room temp to prevent the shell from cracking when you put the egg in the water. cold water bath keeps the egg from continuuing to cook from its own internal temp. crack the shell of each as you put it in the cold water. while its cooling in the bath, the water will get in-between the shell and the membrane/egg. when cooled, roll the egg between palm and hard surface to break in a full circle. shell should come off with a couple gentle flicks of the thumb

Baking soda helps to separate the shell from the egg inside. Not 100% all the time but it does help especially with freshly laid eggs you will eat.

[@jigglepuff871]

The best way i have found to get the eggs to peel very easy is to put the eggs in the water after it is boiling and when you are done cooking them rinse and soak them in cold water for a few minutes or until they cool down. Literally the shells almost come off as one piece

[@Dhilan100]

Pricking the egg allows water to enter and seperate the white from the egg membrane that is attached to the shell. I've done it multiple times and it works but you need a relatively sharp needle so the shell doesn't crack too much.

[@geralt36]

In my experience pricking the eggs allows me to easily peel the egg, i.e., helps the whites to separate from the shell easily and also more importantly prevents the eggs from cracking in the hot water and spilling out which happens with me sometimes when I don't prick them. I also do one other thing to help with the peeling. I always peel my eggs under water or under a running faucet.

[@lightfast1]

I found that peeling the eggs just 7-10 seconds after you dunk them into cold water, the peel comes off much easier and the egg remains perfect ❤

[@stelltame227]

Tap the bottom of the egg a couple of times (not the pointy end the rounder end) just to crack the shell before putting in cold water then bring to boil.... a small amount of the water gets between the shell and egg yolk and the shell slips right off. You are welcome.

To help peel the eggs place them individually in small bowls containing cold water enough to cover the boiled egg and wait about a minute and a half, then throw away the excess water leaving about 2 in and shake the bowl, it will come off imediately if you waited long enough for it to cool.

If you want eggs that peel easily, boil the water first, and slowly lower the eggs into the already boiling water. Start the timer immediately after the eggs are all in. For a lovely creamy yolk only cook for 7-8 minutes in total. Take them out and immediately drain water and let cold water from the tap run over the eggs til they are cooled so they stop cooking. You don't want to overcook that delicious, creamy yolk!

[@NKatz]

So this is Japanese Ramen stype eggs and the eggs are overcooked. They should be almost fully running and the curing mixture causes the yolk to turn to a gel instead of a runny liquid, especially when heated up in a hot bowl of ramen.

[@feefeee]

Johnny, firstly, pricking a hole in the egg stops it from cracking. But since you put them in cols water first, it won't crack anyway.

I make large quantities of deviled eggs (3 doz) at a time, so I’ve learned how to get easy peel, attractive hard cooked eggs. I use an egg cooker (under $20 online). It steams the eggs rather than boil them, and for some reason this works better. This only cooks 6-7 eggs at a time, making a couple hours total, but you don’t have to babysit them. An alarm tells me when they’re done. After they’ve steamed and cooled, I store them overnight in the fridge. The peel them, roll them gently on the counter to make many fractures in the shell. Then under running water, feel the ends to locate the softer end with the air hole. Begin peeling gently under the water. To pull the shell away from the egg, slide in a teaspoons and tease them apart. Go slowly, and the shell will separate and pull away. Ta da! Perfect eggs.

I have developed my own technique for shelling soft eggs safely. I take a teaspoon, and push it under the shell, then I use the spoon to pull the shell away. Since the spoon is about the same roundness as the egg, it allows you to separate the shell from the egg without damaging the egg.

Cold 🥶 🧊 water helps with the easy shell removal as long as it not longer than 5 minutes. It's a sweet spot right in the middle. Too long and the cold water cools the center of the egg 🥚. You don't want that. Only the edge of the eggs🥚.

1. My understanding is that the only difference between dark & regular soy sauce is that dark has molasses, &, since the only difference between white sugar & brown sugar is added molasses, could this recipe be done with regular soy sauce & brown sugar? 2. I think others have mentioned it, but the cold water (preferably ice water) is to prevent the eggs from continuing to cook. 3. Some people swear that cracking the shells before/after placing them in the ice water &/or peeling them underwater lets water in between the egg & the shell thus making them easier to peel, but that’s never worked out for me. I do little taps over the entire shell & peel gently with the side of the thumb & it usually comes off in big pieces/sheets. Brown eggs have been harder to peel than white eggs, though. EDIT: My method totally works just as easily on brown eggs. 4. I think the chili got left out of the description ingredients.

1:44 you know, some veges have this magically property where you can pull on or snap them and they'll break at the exact spot for maximum usage. I do it with asparagus and spring onion, just snap or pull. It's a frugality thing.

some few things: - putting the egg in cold water stops the cooking process, so you definitely get a soft boiled egg - putting a hole in the egg help with not having eggs explode/crack in the boiling water, only happens on too high temperature - putting a sheet of kitchen paper on the eggs in the brine, helps also brine the "bald" spots....it sucks up the liquid and brings it to the top

Take egg, put it in a cup, add some cold water, shake it until it cracks and you hear swoohsy sounds. It peels in two pieces or one. Make sure it is cracked a lot while shaking.

The soy sauce you make has the same recipe how Mukbangers make soy sauce marinated for raw crabs. The only difference is that they boil the sauce, let it cool down, put crabs in, & leave it at least 3 days in the refrigerator.

Does the vinegar in the cooking water for the eggs add anything taste wise? It looked like you were struggling a little to get the shells off, seemed they broke in very little bits, and the vinegar is probably the reason. It weakens the calcium carbonate of the shell and while you’d think it makes peeling them easier, it actually doesn’t (at least in my experience).

[@frozenraspberries1552]

It's supposed to just keep the eggs whites from seeping all over the place if the egg happens to crack, but it won't do anything to help with peeling.

[@megugugugugu]

egg immediately into hot water, not cold water. this is why it's so hard to peel. no need for any fancy stuff, just temperature.

[@GordiansKnotHere]

Great recipe, can I do this with quail eggs? Gave you a like, you're a cool dude!

[@ClarkPotter]

You had me at "drug."

2:35 Where do people always find the crushed garlic? I've checked so many asian stores and if I get lucky there's dried garlic or garlic-ginger-paste but I just can't find the ready diced/crushed stuff.

[@Mdeaccosta]

Wally world sells big jars of it. It's finely diced in salt water. I've used it in homemade Sriracha, you name it.

[@SH-tc7np]

It's the membrane still adhering to the shell that ends in losing egg white while peeling

[@Marastife]

Ypu prick or tap the bottom to release that inner membrane to make it easier to peel, and the cold water is to stop it from cooking so the yolks don't set

[@iamthemustard]

No matter how I boil my eggs, I struggle with peeling - saw on TikTok that you can just pop one in a mug or jar and gently shake to loosen most of the shell, and basically slides right off! Works every time

[@barneyboyle6933]

Do you own an instant pot? I used mine to make the “spa eggs” or “sauna eggs” that he showed in another video and they peel very easily (and they’re delicious). They take like 3 hours to cook but only a minute of actual setup. Best for larger batches I suppose

[@myman2930]

Ajitama is also popular in Japan too.

[@Nurriek]

Worth noting, is that if you want easier-to-peel eggs, is that you want to start them in already boiling water. This temperature-shocks the whites in place, so that the proteins don't cook against the inside of the shell, and thus stick to the shell.

[@chelseajackman7730]

Eggs peel so easily under a light stream of running water. Get the water under the membrane and it'll slip right off.
