Poke a tiny hole at the larger end of the eggs using a turkey lacer or a pen.

In a pot of water over high heat, bring it to a boil.

Carefully lower the eggs into the boiling water.

For soft-boiled eggs, cook for 6 minutes and 30 seconds, stirring constantly for the first minute.

Place the eggs in ice water and let them cool completely for about 10 minutes.

Gently tap each egg with a teaspoon everywhere, then peel it inside the water.

Dice half of an onion, chop two stalks of scallions, slice a red chili pepper, and mince three cloves of garlic.

In a container, mix together chicken stock, water, soy sauce, sugar, onion, scallions, red chili pepper, garlic, and toasted sesame seeds.

Place the peeled eggs in the marinating liquid and marinate overnight in the fridge.
