Ingredient Notes

1 cup of water for smoking can be replaced with broth for added flavor. 2 tablespoons of soy sauce can be low-sodium for a healthier option. 1 pound of eggs can be adjusted depending on how many you want to serve. 1/2 cup of green onions adds freshness—feel free to use scallions instead.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a pot, heat 1 cup of water with wood chips over medium heat until it starts to smoke.
  2. Step 2: Carefully add the eggs to the pot and cover with a lid for 10 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Remove eggs, place them in cold water for 5 minutes, then peel and soak in soy sauce for 5 minutes before serving.
  4. Step 4: Garnish with chopped green onions and serve warm or at room temperature.

Things I’ve Learned

It’s important to keep the pot covered while smoking to capture the flavor. If you have leftover eggs, store them in the soy sauce mixture in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat by placing them in warm water for a few minutes. You can also prepare the eggs ahead of time and just soak them in soy sauce before serving.
