Mayak Eggs (Korean Marinated Eggs)

Step 1

In a small bowl, add all marinade ingredients and mix to combine.

Step 2

Add vinegar and salt to a pot of boiling water. Reduce the heat and gently place each egg into the water. Simmer for 6 minutes (or 10 minutes for hard-boiled eggs). Prepare a large bowl of ice water.

Step 3

When the timer goes off, immediately transfer the eggs to the ice water bath. Allow the eggs to cool completely, for at least 5-10 minutes.

Step 4

Gently peel the eggs (detailed tips above) and place them in a container. Pour the marinade on top, cover, and store in the refrigerator overnight, or at least 6 hours.

Step 5

To serve, place the egg over a bed of rice, and garnish with green onions, sesame seeds, dried seaweed flakes, and/or sesame oil to taste. It makes for an excellent garnish over a bowl of noodles as well. Enjoy!
