Description

This Teriyaki Poached Eggs recipe offers a delicious twist on classic poached eggs by cooking them gently in a homemade teriyaki sauce, resulting in eggs infused with sweet and savory flavors. Finished with roasted sesame seeds and green onions, this dish is perfect for a quick breakfast or elegant brunch. An alternative air fryer version is also included for convenience.

Ingredients

Eggs

  • 4 eggs

Teriyaki Sauce

  • 1 cup soy sauce
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp grated ginger
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 1/2 cup mirin
  • 8 tbsp water

Garnish

  • Roasted sesame seeds
  • Green onions (optional)
  • Oil spray (for air fryer method)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Teriyaki Sauce: In a saucepan, combine soy sauce, sugar, grated ginger, minced garlic, mirin, and water. Simmer the mixture over medium heat until it thickens to a syrupy texture, frequently stirring to prevent burning.
  2. Maintain Simmering Sauce: Once thickened, reduce the heat to keep the sauce at a gentle simmer without boiling, ensuring the flavor concentrates and the sauce stays warm.
  3. Add Eggs to Sauce: Carefully crack the eggs directly into the simmering teriyaki sauce, trying to keep them separate to prevent the whites from merging.
  4. Cook Eggs in Sauce: Cover the saucepan with a lid and cook the eggs for 3 minutes, allowing the egg whites to set while the yolks remain soft and runny.
  5. Remove Eggs: Using a spoon, gently lift the poached eggs out of the teriyaki sauce without breaking the yolks.
  6. Garnish: Sprinkle roasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions on top of the eggs for added flavor and texture.
  7. Serve: Plate the eggs immediately while warm, optionally accompanied by toast or rice.
  8. Alternative Air Fryer Method Preparation: Spray non-stick cooking oil inside ramekins and place them in the air fryer basket to prepare for poaching eggs.
  9. Poach Eggs in Air Fryer: Crack the eggs into the prepared ramekins and cook at 360°F (190°C) for 6 minutes and 30 seconds.
  10. Remove Eggs from Air Fryer: Carefully take the ramekins out, as they will be hot. Use a spoon to gently lift the poached eggs out onto your plate or toast.
  11. Finish and Serve: Drizzle with teriyaki sauce, then garnish with roasted sesame seeds and green onions before serving.

Notes

  • Keep the teriyaki sauce at a gentle simmer to avoid breaking the eggs or overcooking the yolks.
  • For firmer yolks, increase cooking time slightly when poaching in the sauce or air fryer.
  • Green onions add freshness but are optional depending on preference.
  • Oil spray is recommended for the air fryer ramekins to prevent sticking.
  • Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
