FAQs

Are you supposed to eat Mayak eggs cold? ›

Do you eat Mayak eggs cold? You don't need to reheat the eggs when you consume them. The hot rice should suffice to make it hot!

Mayak eggs will last up to 3 days stored in an airtight container in the fridge. To enjoy, just take them out of the marinade and enjoy cold.

Mayak eggs are soft and jammy Korean marinated eggs that are soaked in a delicious soy sauce, sesame and chilli sauce marinade overnight. They're so good, their name actually translates to “drug eggs”… probably because they have such an addictive taste! PREP TIME.

These marinated eggs will last about 3-4 days in the fridge. Any leftover marinade can be used for stir-frying vegetables, meats, or noodles. The sauce is very versatile, so you can also use it to add flavor to any of your other dishes.

Mayak eggs need overnight marination, but get better and better as they brine, to a limit, I've never had them for more than a week in the fridge (so tasty), but I'm sure the egg quality degrades with too much time.

While recipes can vary from brand to brand, store-bought pickled eggs are often submerged in pickling solutions consisting of ingredients like beet juice, vinegar, water, and sugar. Commercial pickled eggs can also contain sodium benzoate, which is a common preservative that keeps food stable on store shelves.

I make a small amount of marinade to marinate a few eggs at a time in the refrigerator. The eggs are ready in 2 hours but taste better if marinated overnight. However, it's a good idea to transfer the eggs to a clean airtight container the next day otherwise they will be too salty.

Serve them over a bowl of warm white rice with a drizzle of the marinade and rich toasted sesame oil (or top with a small bit of butter to make it super rich). I like to serve mayak gyeran with a bit of toasted nori sheets for an even more wholesome meal.

Iron egg (Chinese: 鐵蛋; pinyin: tiědàn) is a special version of soy egg, a snack from Taiwan. They are considered a delicacy and originated in the Tamsui District of New Taipei City. The dish consists of small eggs that have been repeatedly stewed in a mix of spices and air-dried.

Deviled eggs are served chilled, making them an excellent make-ahead dish. At a minimum, you'll need to allow for 20 to 25 minutes of chill time before serving. You can make deviled eggs up to 2 days in advance; be sure to store the egg whites and the yolk filling separately.
