   • Start by scoring spirals into the whites of the eggs, from top to bottom, using a sharp knife. This step not only adds a decorative touch but also helps the sauce to penetrate the eggs, infusing them with flavor.

2. Saute the Garlic:

   • In a skillet or frying pan, heat the cooking oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the minced garlic and sauté until it just starts to change color and becomes aromatic. Be careful not to let it brown too much, as it can turn bitter.

3. Create the Sauce:

   • Next, add the brown sugar and soy sauce to the pan with the garlic. Stir well to combine, allowing the sugar to dissolve into the sauce and the flavors to meld together. Adjust the sweetness and saltiness to your preference by adding more sugar or soy sauce if needed.

4. Coat the Eggs:

   • Carefully place the scored eggs into the pan with the sauce, gently turning them to coat evenly. Allow the eggs to cook in the sauce, absorbing the flavors and developing a beautiful glaze. Continue to turn the eggs occasionally to ensure they are coated on all sides.

5. Finish and Serve:

   • Once the eggs are nicely browned and the sauce has thickened to your liking, remove them from the pan. Transfer the polished eggs to a serving platter and garnish with any remaining sauce from the pan. These eggs can be enjoyed hot as a satisfying main dish or served cold as a tasty appetizer or snack.
