How to Prepare Soy Sauce Braised Eggs
-
Boiling Eggs
Place the eggs in a pot of cold water with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 tablespoon of vinegar, turn on high heat and stir gently. When the water boils, cover the pot and boil for 5 minutes, then turn off the heat, allow the eggs to cool for about 2 minutes, and then peel the eggs.
Tip:
- Boil the eggs at room temperature; if the eggs are taken from the refrigerator, let them warm up a bit before boiling.
- Gently stir the eggs so that the yolks stay in the center.

Making the Braising Sauce
Mix together 1 tablespoon of dark soy sauce, 5 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate, and 1/4 teaspoon of five-spice powder.
Heat a pan and add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil. When the oil is hot, add sliced green onions, shallots, and thinly sliced chili, and sauté until golden, then turn off the heat.
Tip: Turn off the heat when the spices are slightly golden to avoid burning them.

Braised Eggs
Add 1 teaspoon of chili sauce, braising sauce, and 100ml of filtered water into the pan, turn the heat back on and add the eggs, stirring to ensure the eggs are evenly colored. Adjust to medium heat and braise until the sauce thickens and the eggs are colored, then turn off the heat, plate the dish, sprinkle with scallions and pepper, and it’s done.
Tip:
- While braising, roll the eggs frequently to ensure they are evenly colored.
- You can use a toothpick to poke the eggs so that the seasonings soak in evenly, making the dish more delicious.

Cook the eggs
Place a pan on the stove and add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil, swirling it to cover the surface of the pan. When the oil is hot, place a bowl in the center of the pan and surround it with 4 eggs.
Wait about 20 seconds to remove the bowl, add the remaining egg in the center, then pour the sauce along the edge of the pan and around the eggs, cover with a lid, and simmer on low heat for about 2 – 3 minutes before turning off the heat, sprinkle with green onions and chili to finish.
Tip:
- Crack the eggs into the pan gently to avoid breaking them for a prettier and richer outcome.
- Covering with a lid and using low heat will help the eggs cook slowly, keeping the yolk runny and preventing burning.

How to choose fresh and delicious eggs
- Choose eggs with a dark, even-colored shell, no cracks, spots, or black marks.
- Touch the surface of the egg; choose those with a slightly rough texture.
- Eggs that have been stored for a long time will have a smooth surface; do not choose these eggs.
- When gently shaking the egg, if you do not feel movement inside, the egg is still fresh.
