I don’t make mine too spicy, as I am mostly having this for breakfast, and my stomach will not forgive me if I had spicy food first thing in the morning. However,这些是你的鸡蛋,你可以尽情发挥the recipe to your liking!

The hardest part about making these addicting Korean Marinated Eggs is peeling the eggshells, but don’t worry, I got a few tricks to help you out.

To be honest, that is one of the reasons why I use to hate making Ramen Eggs. It is already hard enough to peel hard-boiled eggs, but it makes it even harder when the yolk is still soft.

The key to perfectly peeled eggs is to addvinegar and saltto the water before boiling.

This extra step will help break down the shells, which will help them peel easier. Also, make sure to let the eggs rest in ICE COLD water for at least 10 minutes. It stops the eggs from overcooking, but it also helps the shells peel easier as well.
