Mayak Eggs are Korean marinated eggs soaked in a soy sauce-based mixture.

How long should Mayak Eggs marinate?

At least 6 hours, though overnight marination provides stronger flavor.

Can I use fully cooked eggs?

Yes, but jammy yolks absorb the marinade more effectively.

They are mild unless chili peppers are added.
