Drug Eggs

Mayak Eggs (literally translated as drug eggs because they are so addictive) are a deliciously moreish Korean snack. We tried our hand at them thanks to Cooker Ru’s Recipe

Prep time: 6 hours/overnight
Cooking time: 10 minutes
Makes: 3 eggs

Ingredients
3 eggs
60ml soy sauce
60ml water
2tbsp honey
1/4 onion
1 spring onion
2 cloves of garlic
1 chilli
1/2tbsp sesame seeds
Spring onions, nori sheets and sesame seeds for garnishing

1. No great Eggspectations

Firstly, soft boil three eggs – this should take around 6-7 minutes. You may notice we have four eggs, that’s because one had a suspicious hole and was leaking its insides out… Once the eggs have had their alloted time in the spa,it is time for the cold plunge. Add them to a bowl of cold water with some icecubes

While the eggs are cooking, you can also start on the marinade by finely dicing 1/4 onion, 1 spring onion, 2 cloves of garlic (you can press these if you have a garlic press), and 1 chilli.

Add your chopped ingredients to a suitably sized egg holding vessel along with
60ml soy sauce, 60ml water, 2tbsp honey and 1/2tbsp sesame seeds.

Once the eggs have cooled, peel them and submerge them in the marinade. Cover and leave them to soak up that delicious flavour for at least 6 hours, or overnight.

Cut open and garnish your eggs with your chosen toppings of sesame seeds, chopped spring onions and nori flakes.

Dink and sink!
