Ingredients
Essential Ingredients:

- 1 tablespoon white vinegar for easier peeling
- Salt and black pepper for seasoning, optional
Optional Flavor Enhancements:
- Soy sauce or mirin for marinating
- Garlic or chili spices
- Flaky sea salt and chili oil for garnish
Instructions
- Boil Water: Bring a medium-large pot of water to a boil. Make sure the water level is enough to completely cover the eggs.
- Prepare Eggs: Add 1 tablespoon of white vinegar to the boiling water to aid in peeling.
- Cook Eggs: Using tongs, gently place the eggs into the boiling water. Cook for exactly 6.5 minutes for a perfect jammy texture.
- Ice Bath: While the eggs are cooking, prepare an ice bath by filling a bowl with cold water and ice.
- Cool Eggs: After 6.5 minutes, transfer the eggs to the ice bath. Let them cool for about 4 minutes to stop the cooking process.
- Peel Eggs: Gently crack and peel the eggs. Rinse them under cold water if needed to remove any remaining shell bits.

Notes
Tips for Perfectly Cooked Jammy Eggs
- Timing: Cook eggs for 6 minutes to get gooey yolks. Adjust the time slightly for smaller or larger eggs.
- Ice Bath: Crucial for stopping the cooking process and making peeling easier.
- Peeling: Room temperature eggs peel more easily. Adding vinegar or salt to the boiling water can help.
