Step 1

To give you a quick overview of the timing of each step:

Step 2

First, we'll wash and rub our eggs in water, for cleanliness.

Step 3

While we're waiting for the eggs to boil, add water and red food coloring to an empty bowl.

Step 4

After boiling the eggs for 5 minutes on the stove and 3 minutes off of the stove, transfer the eggs from the pot and soak them in a bowl of cold water for 2 minutes.

Step 5

Dip each egg in the red color solution for 30 seconds, and place them back onto your plate. Once each egg is dipped, we can move on to the ginger!

Step 6

Sometimes for other recipes (like our Ginger Fried Rice), my dad leaves on the ginger skins for more nutrition.

Step 7

Add salt to the bowl of ginger. Mix evenly by shaking the bowl, and try to separate the slices of ginger from clumping together. Set the bowl aside for 5 minutes.

Step 8

To an empty bowl, add sugar and vinegar. If your ginger is on the older side, add an extra tablespoon of sugar and vinegar each.

Step 9

After 5 minutes of soaking, the ginger should be less spicy and more tender.

Step 10

We are almost there!
