4 tbsp soy sauce — @kikkomanuk
1 tsp honey
1 large pinch chilli flakes
1 tsp freshly grated ginger
4 egg yolks — @clarence_court
Instructions
Step by step
- 1
Mix 4 tbsp of soy with the honey, chilli and ginger in a small bowl.
- 2
Add the egg yolks to the bowl, then top up with enough soy sauce to cover the yolks (it’s fine if the top of the yolks are slightly poking out!).
- 3
Refrigerate for minimum 10-12 hours if you want the same texture as what you see in the reel. You can keep in fridge for longer, the yolks will just be a little firmer.
- 4
To serve, spoon the marinated egg yolks out with some of the sauce.
