Mayak Eggs – Korean Marinated Eggs (Soy Free, Gluten Free)

Mayak eggs (mayak gyeran) is a classic Korean side dish of soy-marinated boiled eggs with a savoury-yet-sweet flavour that everyone will love. And it's great for meal prep. Make a large batch and eat it for breakfast, use it as ramen eggs, or simply a quick afternoon snack.

Mayak Eggs (Korean Marinated Egg Recipe)

eggs, (room temperature*)

white vinegar

salt

soy sauce, (light

soy sauce (optional)

sesame oil (optional)

honey, (maple syrup or brown rice syrup)

garlic cloves, (minced)

green onions, (thinly sliced)

chilli peppers, (sliced (optional))

Prep your ice bath before you cook the eggs. Grab a large enough bowl to fit all your eggs. Then add a few handfuls of ice cubes with enough cold water to submerge the boiled eggs. Set aside.

Take a medium-sized pot big enough to fit the eggs in a single layer. Fill it half full with water and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat. Once the water reaches a rolling boil, stir in the vinegar and salt. Then, gently lower the room-temperature eggs into the boiling water with a slotted spoon. Start a timer once the last egg hits the water and cook for 6 minutes*. Transfer the eggs to the waiting ice bath and cool down for 5 minutes.

Gently tap-tap-tap the cooled eggs on a flat surface and softly roll the eggs with the palm of your hand. Then peel the eggs, and rinse off any pieces of eggshell. Place the eggs in a glass bowl or airtight container that fits the eggs snuggly.

Whisk together the marinade ingredients in a bowl. Then pour it over the peeled eggs. Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap. And let the eggs marinate at room temperature for at least 1 hour, or preferably, refrigerate overnight.

Transfer the eggs to a clean airtight container. They will keep in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Looking for a quick and flavorful Korean side dish? These Mayak Eggs (a.k.a. Korean marinated eggs) are soft-boiled to perfection and soaked in a savory, slightly sweet soy marinade. Great over rice, in lunch boxes, or as a protein-packed snack!

Mayak Eggs (Mayak Gyeran) – Korean Marinated Eggs Recipe

eggs (, at room temperature)

Tbsp fine salt

Tbsp white vinegar

g dried kelp ((dashima / kombu), (0.1 ounce))

soy sauce (, regular (I use Kikkoman brand))

Tbsp honey

Tbsp brown sugar

sweet rice wine ((mirin))

Tbsp minced garlic

ginger powder

g onion (, finely chopped, (1.8 ounce))

g green onion ((white part), finely chopped, (0.7 ounce))

red chili (, seeds removed and finely chopped)

seaweed flakes

green onion ((green part), finely chopped)

Place the dried kelp in a bowl with 1/2 cup of water and let it soak for 20 minutes to rehydrate. After soaking, discard the kelp but keep the soaking water—it will be used later. Set the water aside.

In a medium-sized pot, bring a generous amount of water to a boil over medium-high heat (about 8 minutes on a gas stove), adding the salt and vinegar. Once the water reaches a rolling boil, reduce the heat to medium and gently lower the eggs into the pot using a slotted spoon or ladle. Boil for about 6 to 7 minutes to achieve a perfectly soft-boiled texture, known as bansuk, similar to ramen eggs.

Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the eggs from the pot and transfer them to a bowl filled with ice-cold water. Allow the eggs to sit until fully cooled to the touch—about 8 to 10 minutes.

Lightly tap the eggs all around with the back of a spoon to create small cracks in the shells—this will make peeling easier. Then, peel them carefully and rinse under cold running water to remove any remaining shell fragments that may be stuck to the eggs.

In a bowl, combine the soaked kelp water (from step 1) with soy sauce, honey, sugar, mirin, minced garlic, ginger powder, onion, green onion, and red chili to make the sauce. Place the peeled eggs in a container, then pour the sauce over them, making sure the eggs are completely covered in the sauce.

Refrigerate the eggs overnight to allow them to marinate and absorb the flavors. If the eggs aren’t fully covered, turn them over after 8 to 12 hours to ensure they are evenly coated.

Serve the eggs as a side dish with a bowl of rice and other Korean side dishes. For an easy meal, simply serve the eggs over a bed of rice. Drizzling a generous amount of the sauce over the top. For an added layer of flavor, garnish with seaweed (gim), sesame seeds and green onions.

Totally yummy! I tripled this recipe and substituted chili crisp since I couldn't find fresh chilis. Turned out wonderful.
