Mayak Eggs (Korean Drug Eggs)
These Mayak Eggs, also known as Korean Drug Eggs, are seriously addictive (hence the name!) and completely soy-free. With their jammy centers and umami-rich marinade made with coconut aminos, these eggs are the perfect protein-packed addition to any meal!
Servings: 4 eggs
Ingredients
- ½ cup coconut aminos I used Coconut Secret
- ½ cup water
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 Thai chili sliced
- 2 teaspoon salt
- 1 jalapeño diced
- 2-3 scallions sliced
- 1 small bunch cilantro minced
- 2 tbsp sesame seeds toasted
- 4 eggs
- 1 tablespoon vinegar
Instructions
- Fill a medium-sized pot with water and bring to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon of vinegar.
- Using a spoon, gently lower the eggs into the water. Reduce heat to a simmer and simmer for 6 ½ minutes.
- While the eggs are cooking, prepare your other ingredients.
- Mince up your garlic and cilantro. Slice your scallions and Thai chili. Dice up your jalapeño. Toast your sesame seeds until a light brown.
- Once your eggs are cooked, place them into an ice bath or bowl of iced water. Allow to cool before peeling.
- In a large jar or container, add in your Coconut Aminos, water, garlic, thai chili, salt, jalapeño, scallions, cilantro, and toasted sesame seeds. Stir to combine.
- Gently add in your soft boiled eggs. Marinate in the fridge for at least 3 hours. Enjoy it over your favorite rice, topping it off with more marinade or enjoy it as is. Store in an airtight container and consume within 3 days.
Notes
Once the eggs are marinated, take them out of the marinade and place them in a separate container in the fridge for up to 4 days. You can use the leftover marinade on top of rice bowls or in stir fries!
