For a milder heat, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeños before dicing. For those who prefer even less heat, substitute with a milder pepper variety like poblano. To ensure even marination, gently flip the eggs in the marinade halfway through the refrigeration time. Serve the marinated eggs chilled or at room temperature. They are best enjoyed within 3 days of marinating. For a richer flavor, use dark soy sauce instead of light soy sauce. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of your favorite hot sauce to the marinade for an extra kick.

May 30, 2025Make sure your eggs are perfectly hard-boiled so they don't get rubbery during marinating.
