Main Ingredients- 11 Eggs
Addictive Marinade Sauce- 4 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 4 Tbsp Water
- 2 Tbsp Cooking Wine (Mirin, etc.)
- 2 Tbsp Plum Extract
- 2 Tbsp Oligosaccharide
- 1 Tbsp Minced Garlic
- 2 Tbsp Minced Onion
- 2 Tbsp Minced Cheongyang Pepper (or other hot pepper)
- 2 Tbsp Minced Red Pepper
- 4 Tbsp Soy Sauce
- 4 Tbsp Water
- 2 Tbsp Cooking Wine (Mirin, etc.)
- 2 Tbsp Plum Extract
- 2 Tbsp Oligosaccharide
- 1 Tbsp Minced Garlic
- 2 Tbsp Minced Onion
- 2 Tbsp Minced Cheongyang Pepper (or other hot pepper)
- 2 Tbsp Minced Red Pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, boil 11 eggs. For this dish, soft-boiled eggs are ideal, but you can adjust to your preference for hard-boiled. If boiling for soft-boiled, place the eggs in boiling water and cook for about 7-8 minutes. Immediately transfer the cooked eggs to cold water to cool; this makes peeling much easier.
Step 2
Once cooled, carefully peel the shells off the boiled eggs. If the shells are difficult to remove, try peeling them under running water.
Step 3
Now, let’s make the addictive marinade sauce. In a large bowl, combine 4 Tbsp soy sauce, 4 Tbsp water, 2 Tbsp cooking wine, 2 Tbsp plum extract, and 2 Tbsp oligosaccharide.
Step 4
Add the flavor-enhancing ingredients. Stir in 1 Tbsp minced garlic, 2 Tbsp finely minced onion, 2 Tbsp minced Cheongyang pepper for a spicy kick, and 2 Tbsp minced red pepper for color. Mix everything well to create the marinade sauce.
Step 5
Place the peeled eggs into the prepared marinade sauce. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least half a day to allow the flavors to meld. Occasionally, take the container out and gently turn the eggs or prick them lightly with a chopstick to help the sauce penetrate evenly. Since this sauce isn’t boiled, it’s best to consume it relatively quickly.
Step 6
And there you have it – your delicious ‘Mayak Gyeranjang’ is ready! Its savory and spicy flavor is truly irresistible, making it a perfect accompaniment to rice. Enjoy!
