Try our bean protein pot with soy-marinated eggs and kimchi, then discover more high-protein recipes such as paneer and chickpea curry, vegetarian lentil bolognese, turmeric and ginger butter bean stew, or miso tofu soup.

Soy-marinated eggs seriously boost the taste profile and general excitement of a regular soft-boiled egg. They’re great for meal prepping, just make sure not to leave them too long in the marinade to prevent them becoming too salty – about 24 hours is ideal. You can use any left-over marinade as the base for a ramen or stir-fry sauce. If eaten at home you could instead serve it on a slice of wholewheat toasted sourdough bread.

Method

  • step 1

    Bring a pan of water to the boil, gently lower in the eggs and cook for 6 mins 30 seconds, then remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to an ice bath to cool.

  • step 2

    Mix the soy, ginger and honey with 60ml of water. Peel the eggs then put them in a tall container and cover with the marinade. Leave overnight or for at least 4 hrs. If prepping ahead, drain them after 24 hrs and keep refrigerated.

  • step 3

    To make the bean mixture, combine the gochujang and lime juice, then stir through the beans.

  • step 4

    To make the kimchi yogurt, mix the yogurt with the kimchi brine, adding more brine to taste if you like.

  • step 5

    Drain the marinated eggs and slice them in half. Assemble the bowls with the yogurt base, followed by the bean mixture and then the halved eggs, drizzling with a little extra soy marinade if you like. Garnish with kimchi, a sprinkling of sesame seeds, coriander and a little chilli oil to taste. Alternatively, layer up all the ingredients on slices of sourdough toast.
