• Finishing Steps - Sauce

• 

  Step 0

  Add about 1/2 tbsp of chopped scallions on the top of the eggs inside each jar. Place the jars in a splatter-safe place (I usually use the sink). Please note: it is important to do the following steps in order to avoid large splatters or potential burns.

• 

  Step 1

  Heat canola oil in small pan until it starts to smoke. Remove the pan from the heat and pour a bit of hot oil into each jar - about 1/2 tbsp each. Be careful, the scallions will sizzle, smoke, and splatter. If there is no sizzle, the oil is not hot enough.

• 

  Step 2

  Spoon 1/3 tbsp soy sauce into each jar. Wipe down the sides of the jars in case of any splatters and serve.
