Place a pot of water on the stove and bring to the boil. Add a splash of vinegar to the water to help remove the shells easily.

Lower eggs in and boil for 7 minutes (6 minutes for room temperature eggs). After this time, remove eggs from boiling water and drop straight into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process immediately. Peel away the shells.

In a container, mix together soy sauce, water, sugar garlic, spring onions, chillis and sesame seeds. Stir well.

Add boiled eggs and turn over a few times. If part of your eggs are not completely submerged in the marinade, cover the eggs with a paper towel.

Cover the container with a lid and refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight.

Serve with hot steamed rice or as a side dish for your main meal.
