Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup white vinegar
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
  • 2 bay leaves

Equipment

  • Large Pot
  • Peeler
  • Frying Pan

Method
 

  1. Start by placing the eggs in a saucepan and covering them with cold water. It’s important to use cold water initially, as this ensures even cooking.
  2. Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the saucepan, remove it from heat, and let the eggs stand for 12 minutes. This method will yield perfect hard-boiled eggs with a creamy yolk.
  3. After 12 minutes, transfer the eggs to a bowl filled with ice water. This helps stop the cooking process and makes peeling them much easier.
  4. While the eggs cool, prepare the marinade. In a separate bowl, combine soy sauce, vinegar, water, minced garlic, peppercorns, and bay leaves. Stir well until everything is mixed together.
  5. Once the eggs have cooled, peel them carefully. It’s best to do this under running water to help remove the shells without damaging the eggs.
  6. Place the peeled eggs into the marinade, ensuring they are fully submerged. It’s essential for them to soak up all those incredible flavors.
  7. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight if you want a more intense flavor. The longer they sit, the better they become!
  8. Once marinated, you can serve the Filipino Adobo Eggs as a delightful snack or part of a meal. Enjoy them straight from the marinade or slice them in half to reveal the beautiful, flavorful yolk.
  9. They can also be served alongside steamed rice or as a topping for salads. The possibilities are endless!

Notes

Once prepared, store the Filipino Adobo Eggs in the marinade in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This helps maintain their flavor and keeps them fresh for up to a week.
