Equipment

  • 1 Pot For boiling the eggs.
  • 1 Bowl For the ice bath.
  • 1 Glass jar or container For marinating the eggs.

Ingredients
  

Eggs

  • 4 pieces Fresh eggs Organic or free-range for best flavor.

Marinade

  • ½ cup Soy sauce Coconut aminos can be used for gluten-free.
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame oil Use toasted for extra flavor.
  • 1 clove Garlic Minced, adjust amount to taste.
  • 2 pieces Scallions Chopped, can substitute with chives or green onions.
  • to taste pinch Chili flakes Optional for heat.

Instructions
 

  • Start by bringing a pot of water to a gentle boil. Once boiling, carefully add your eggs. For perfect mayak eggs, aim for a cooking time of 6 to 7 minutes. This will yield a slightly runny yolk, which is ideal for marinating. Afterward, prepare an ice bath by filling a bowl with ice and water. Once the time is up, transfer the eggs to the ice bath to stop the cooking process.
  • While the eggs are cooling, it’s time to whip up the marinade. In a bowl, combine ½ cup of soy sauce (or coconut aminos for a gluten-free option), 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, and 1 minced garlic clove. If you enjoy a bit of heat, feel free to add a pinch of chili flakes. Mix everything well to ensure the flavors meld together.
  • Once the eggs are cool, gently tap them on a hard surface to crack the shell. Carefully peel the eggs under running water to make the process easier. This step is crucial, as you want the eggs to remain intact for marinating.
  • Place the peeled eggs in a glass jar or a container with a lid. Pour the marinade over the eggs, ensuring they are fully submerged. Seal the jar tightly and let it sit in the refrigerator. Ideally, allow the eggs to marinate for at least 4 hours, but overnight is even better for maximum flavor infusion.
  • After marinating, your mayak eggs are ready to be enjoyed! You can serve them as a snack, on top of rice, or even as a delicious addition to salads. The possibilities are endless!
