Korean Marinated Eggs – Mayak Gyeran (EASY!)

Korean Marinated Eggs - Mayak Gyeran (EASY!)

Get your rice ready because these delicious, garlicky, and savory Korean Marinated Eggs will be your go-to side dish for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!

If you never tried Korean Marinated Eggs – Mayak Gyeran, you are seriously missing out. The egg yolk is gooey and soft on the inside, while the egg is marinated in a savory, spicy, and sweet sauce that pairs perfectly with a hot bowl of rice! Mayak Gyeran is easy and affordable to make, and I promise you will love it too! 

Mayak Gyeran

It takes less than 20 minutes to prepare these delicious Korean Marinated Eggs, and once you make it, you will have Mayak Gyeran for the rest of the week!

I love to prepare Korean Marinated Eggs on the weekend (Sunday night); that way, I can have a delicious and nutritious breakfast throughout the week. All you need is a big bowl of hot rice, some seaweed, and you got yourself the best breakfast ever! These eggs can last in the fridge for around 4-5 days.  

Mayak Gyeran

There are many different versions and recipes, as Mayak Gyeran is a super popular side dish trending worldwide, but here is my simple recipe for garlic lovers like me!

I added extra garlic and also did a drizzle of sesame oil. You can also drizzle the sesame oil after serving if you prefer to keep your marinate oil-free. 

I don’t make mine too spicy, as I am mostly having this for breakfast, and my stomach will not forgive me if I had spicy food first thing in the morning. However, these are your eggs, and you can play around with the recipe to your liking! 

How to peel eggs

The hardest part about making these addicting Korean Marinated Eggs is peeling the eggshells, but don’t worry, I got a few tricks to help you out.

To be honest, that is one of the reasons why I use to hate making Ramen Eggs. It is already hard enough to peel hard-boiled eggs, but it makes it even harder when the yolk is still soft. 

How to make asain eggs

The key to perfectly peeled eggs is to add vinegar and salt to the water before boiling.

This extra step will help break down the shells, which will help them peel easier. Also, make sure to let the eggs rest in ICE COLD water for at least 10 minutes. It stops the eggs from overcooking, but it also helps the shells peel easier as well.

About Me
Hi! I am Tiffy and I am a HUGE foodie. I love to cook, I love to eat, and I love sharing what I love with the world.
I was born in Taiwan, a country with some of the best street food in the world. When I think back to my childhood, I remember all the fantastic restaurants my dad brought me to when I was young. You see, my family is also huge foodies; we use to wander around night markets every weekend, skip the last period in class to try out new restaurants, and every summer, we would travel around Taiwan exploring all the new “must try” dishes around the country.
