Gyeran Jangjorim is a savory Korean side dish featuring hard-boiled eggs simmered in a soy sauce-based marinade, creating a delightful balance of flavors. This dish is not only delicious but also serves as a beautiful addition to any meal.

Ingredients

• Eggs - 4 large
• Soy sauce - 60 ml
• Water - 120 ml
• Mirin - 30 ml
• Sugar - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic - 2 cloves, crushed
• Green onion - 1 stalk, chopped
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Red pepper flakes - 1/2 teaspoon (optional)

Steps

1. Place the eggs in a pot and cover them with water. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
2. Once boiling, cover the pot and turn off the heat. Let the eggs sit for 10-12 minutes, then transfer them to an ice bath to cool.
3. In a separate saucepan, combine the soy sauce, water, mirin, sugar, crushed garlic, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
4. Once simmering, add the cooled, peeled eggs to the saucepan. Let them simmer in the sauce for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even coating.
5. After 10 minutes, remove the eggs from the sauce and place them on a serving plate.
6. Drizzle the sesame oil over the eggs, and garnish with chopped green onions and red pepper flakes if desired.
7. Serve warm or at room temperature as a side dish.
