Step 4

Mix the Marinade ingredients in a bowl.

Step 5

In a small jar or air-tight container with a volume of minimum 300ml (10.1oz)(note 3), place the eggs and add the marinade. Ensure that all eggs are covered in the marinade.

Step 6

Place a lid on and keep them in the fridge for overnight up to 2 days.
