INSTRUCTIONS

1. Make soft-boiled eggs by cooking eggs in the boiling water for 6 minutes and 30 seconds. Transfer them to an ice bath to cool down. Peel the eggs and set them aside.⁣

2. In a skillet over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Then, add minced garlic, gochujang, chili crisp, maple syrup, soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Cook everything until the sauce thickens slightly.⁣

   NOTE: This sauce is amazing on other proteins too—tofu, mushrooms, or even a mix with eggs.
