The Way

Soft-boil the eggs: gently lower them into boiling water and give them exactly 6 and a half quiet minutes. Straight into ice water after — the shock keeps the yolk jammy.
Peel under the water. Cracks happen; forgive them.
Stir the marinade: soy sauce, water, honey, garlic, green onion, chili, sesame. No cooking — it stays raw and bright.
Slide the eggs in, make sure they're mostly submerged, and let the fridge do the work. 4 hours minimum, overnight is the real answer.
Tomorrow midnight: hot rice, butter on top, a spoonful of the marinade over everything. Let the butter melt into the soy.
Halve two eggs over the bowl so the yolk falls where it wants to. Sesame oil, more seeds, eat immediately.

midnight tip — the marinade keeps in the fridge and gets better. batch the eggs; future-you says thanks.
