- 4 eggs
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp gochujang (Korean red chili paste)
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sugar
- Optional garnishes: chili crisp, sliced green onions, roasted sesame seeds
Instructions
Air Frying the Eggs:
- To your air fryer, add your eggs and make sure they all are touching the bottom of the air fryer and aren’t stacked.
- Heat your air fryer to 300 F (149 C) and air fry the egg(s) for 8 minutes.
- When it’s done air-frying, immediately submerge your egg(s) into a bowl filled with water and ice cubes before peeling. Tip: for easier peeling, submerge your eggs into the cold water while peeling. Set the eggs aside.
- In a pan, heat a bit of oil over medium heat. Sauté the garlic until fragrant.
- Add the gochujang, water, soy sauce, and sugar. Stir and simmer until the mixture thickens slightly into a glossy sauce.
- Add the boiled eggs and gently roll them in the sauce until evenly coated.
- Serve the spicy gochujang eggs over rice and garnish with chili crisp, green onions, and roasted sesame seeds if desired.
Boiling the Eggs:
- Bring a pot with water filled enough to submerge the egg(s) to a simmer.
- Carefully drop in your eggs to the water and allow to simmer for 7-7 1/2 minutes. You can go for 30 seconds to a minute longer depending on how cooked you want the egg yolks to be.
