  2. 2 Toss the eggs evenly with coarse salt, then let them drain and refrigerate for a day to firm them up.
  3. 3 Rinse off any excess salt, pat dry, and then toss with soju to add fragrance and kill bacteria.
  4. 4 Spread a mixture of Korean chili powder, crushed garlic, and a little sugar all over the egg strip.
  5. 5 Place in an airtight container, refrigerate for two more days, then slice and serve with hot rice.
