- Boil the eggs: Place the large eggs in a pot, cover them with water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 7-8 minutes until perfectly hard-boiled.
- Cool the eggs: After boiling, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water for about 5 minutes. Peel under running water.
- Prepare the marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, water, sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
- Marinate the eggs: Take the peeled eggs and gently place them in a container. Pour the marinade over the eggs, ensuring they are covered.
- Refrigerate: Seal the container and allow the eggs to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours; overnight is recommended for maximum flavor.
- Serve: Remove the eggs from the marinade. Slice in half if desired, and garnish with chopped green onions.
