Ingredients
Scale
6 large eggs
½ cup soy sauce
½ cup water
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 stalks green onions, chopped
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
Start by bringing a pot of water to a gentle boil. Carefully add the eggs, ensuring they do not crack. Boil for exactly 7 minutes for that perfect soft center.
While the eggs are boiling, prepare an ice bath by filling a bowl with ice and cold water. This will stop the cooking process and ensure your eggs are easy to peel.
Once the 7 minutes are up, remove the eggs and plunge them into the ice bath. Let them sit for about 5 minutes, then gently tap and peel the shells off. Rinse the peeled eggs under cold water to remove any bits of shell.
In a separate bowl, whisk together soy sauce, water, sesame oil, minced garlic, green onions, and red pepper flakes. Adjust to taste and feel free to add a touch of honey for a sweet contrast.
Place the peeled eggs in a container and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. The longer, the better—overnight is ideal for maximum flavor!
Your Mayak Eggs are now ready to be enjoyed! Serve them as a side dish, in a rice bowl, or simply as a protein-rich snack.
Notes
