Mayak Eggs


Boil the eggs:
Bring a pot of water to a boil and gently place the eggs in the boiling water. Let the eggs boil for 6 minutes for the perfect soft boiled eggs.
*If you wish, add some vinegar to the water. This will make the eggs a bit easier to peel, especial when the eggs are not hard boil eggs. Use 5 cups of water to 2 tablespoons of vinegar.*


After 6 minutes, remove the eggs from the boiling water and shock them in iced water. Let the eggs cool completely.
*The shocking process will help stop the eggs from cooking further and also help release the egg shell from the egg.*
Make the mayak marinade:
While the eggs are cooling, make the mayak marinade. Combine everything except the eggs and vinegar in a bowl (onion, garlic, green onion, chili pepper, sesame seeds, soy sauce, honey, and water). Mix unti combined.
Marinate the eggs:
Once the eggs are cooled, crack and peel the eggs. Place them in a suitable airtight container and pour the mayak marinade over the eggs. Place the lid on the container and let the eggs marinade in the fridge for at least 6 hours or overnight for best flavor.
*If your eggs float in the marinade, you can use a sheet of plastic wrap to keep them submerged. Refer to the post for more details and photo reference!*
After marinating, the eggs will look brown and the yolks will take on a rich orange color. Enjoy the eggs with some rice, a splash of sesame oil, and some marinade!
