First things first. To get the perfect boiled eggs, place those babies in a pot, cover them with cold water, and bring to a rolling boil. As soon as the water reaches a boil, turn off the heat, cover the pot, and let it sit for 12 minutes. This method gives you a beautifully creamy yolk without any greenish tinge.

While those eggs are cooking, prepare an ice bath. Fill a large bowl with cold water and ice. Once the time is up, immediately transfer the eggs into this ice bath. Let them cool for about 5 to 10 minutes. This stops the cooking process.

Once cooled, gently tap each egg on a hard surface and peel them under running water. This method helps in removing the shell smoothly.

Now, let's mix that delicious marinade! In a bowl, combine soy sauce, water, honey, toasted sesame seeds, finely diced onion, green onions, garlic, diced chili, and ginger (if using). Stir until well combined.

Place the peeled eggs into a container. Pour the marinade over the eggs, ensuring they are fully submerged. If needed, cover with a lid. Let them sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to an hour, or refrigerate for at least 4 to 24 hours for even deeper flavor.

Once marinated, these eggs are ready for their grand debut. You can slice them in half for an appetizing presentation. Drizzle a touch of sesame oil and sprinkle sesame seeds for garnish. If you like, add chopped green onions and seaweed flakes on top.
