Instructions
Gather Ingredients
- Start by collecting all the necessary ingredients. You’ll need fresh eggs, soy sauce, minced garlic, sesame oil, chopped green onions, and chili flakes.
Boil the Eggs
- Place your fresh eggs in a pot and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let them simmer for about 6-7 minutes. After that, remove the eggs and immediately place them in an ice bath to cool.
Prepare the Marinade
- While the eggs are cooling, mix together the soy sauce, minced garlic, sesame oil, and chili flakes in a bowl.
Peel the Eggs
- Once the eggs are cool, gently tap them on a hard surface to crack the shell. Carefully peel the eggs under running water.
Marinate the Eggs
- Place the peeled eggs in a clean jar or container. Pour the marinade over the eggs, ensuring they are fully submerged. Seal the container and let the eggs marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight for a more intense flavor.
Enjoy Your Mayak Eggs
- After marinating, your mayak eggs are ready to be enjoyed! Serve them as a snack, or add them to rice bowls or salads.
