Marinated Mayak Eggs Recipe by Tasty

Mayak eggs are Korean soy-marinated jammy eggs soaked in a savory, garlicky soy sauce mixture with scallions and fresh chiles for bold, deeply layered flavor. The soft centers absorb the sweet-salty marinade while staying rich and creamy, making each bite intensely satisfying. After a simple overnight soak, the eggs develop their signature intensely savory taste and glossy finish.

1 Bring a medium pot filled with water to a rolling boil over high heat. Carefully lower in the eggs, and cook over medium-high heat for 6 minutes for jammy centers.
2 Remove the pot from heat, and immediately transfer the eggs to a bowl filled with ice water. Let them stand until completely cooled, 5–10 minutes. Peel the eggs and set aside.
3 Whisk together the soy sauce, water, and rice syrup in a medium bowl until combined. Add the garlic, scallions, onion, Korean green pepper, Thai chiles, and sesame seeds. Stir to combine.
4 Gently place the peeled eggs in the marinade, making sure they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or up to 12 hours.
5 Remove the eggs from the marinade, and cut them in half lengthwise. Divide the eggs evenly among 6 bowls (overcooked rice, if desired), and spoon some of the marinade mixture over the top. Serve.
6 Enjoy!
