Keyword: Korean drug eggs, mayak eggs
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!
