Mayak Eggs (Korean Marinated Eggs) Recipe

steamed rice, to serve

Marinade:

1 red chilli, finely chopped

1 green chilli, finely chopped

3 garlic cloves, finely chopped

1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds

½ cup Japanese soy sauce

1 tsp dark soy sauce

½ cup water

¼ cup honey

¼ cup finely sliced spring onion (scallions), plus extra to serve

• Place a pot over water over high heat and bring to the boil. Gently place the eggs in the water. Stir the eggs every so often in the first few minutes to try to ‘centre’ the egg yolk. Gently boil the eggs for 6 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold tap water to cool them down.
• Meanwhile, mix together the marinade ingredients in a large bowl.
• Carefully peel the eggs and place them in the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. To serve, remove the eggs from the marinade. Slice in half and place on top of your steamed rice. Drizzle over plenty of the leftover marinade. Top with extra spring onion and serve.
