Cook the eggs in the air fryer at 250°F (120°C) for 12 minutes.
Place the cooked eggs straight into an ice bath until completely cooled.
Mix warm water, brown sugar, rice vinegar, soy sauce, ginger, chilli oil, and sesame seeds in a container. Stir until the sugar dissolves. If it doesn’t dissolve, microwave the mixture for a few seconds and stir again.
Carefully peel the cooled eggs and add them to the marinade. Ensure they are fully submerged or turn them occasionally to marinate evenly.
Marinate the eggs for at least 4 hours, or up to 24 hours for the best flavor.
Serve the marinated eggs over rice, noodles, or as desired. Pour the marinade over the dish for added flavor.

If you don’t have an air fryer, you can boil the eggs instead. Adjust the cooking time to achieve jammy yolks.
For a stronger flavor, let the eggs marinate for the full 24 hours.
Use the marinade as a sauce for rice or noodles to avoid waste and enhance the dish.
Can I use regular sugar instead of brown sugar?
Yes, but brown sugar adds a deeper, caramel-like flavor to the marinade.
What if I don’t have an air fryer?
You can boil the eggs instead. Cook them for about 6-7 minutes for jammy yolks.
How long can the marinated eggs be stored?
Store the marinated eggs in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Can I reuse the marinade?
It’s not recommended to reuse the marinade for food safety reasons, but you can use it as a sauce for rice or noodles.
Can I add other spices or aromatics to the marinade?
Absolutely! Feel free to experiment with garlic, star anise, or other spices to customize the flavor.
