Banh Mi Beef Lemongrass Marinade Recipe
Hi guys!
I'm going to share one of Korea's hottest side dish (Banchan) recipe today!
We call Mayak Gyeran, which means drug egg!
FYI, there is NO DRUG in this recipe!!
We put the word "drug" on front of the food menu when the food is SO ADDICTIVE.
hahahahaha Got ya!
This mayak eggs definitely rice thief! Your rice will be gone!! ….To your tummy!
You can easily double up this mayak eggs recipe because it will be very addictive that you will need more of it!
Bring enough water to cover 6 eggs in a pot. Add salt and vinegar and bring it to a boil and carefully add the eggs. Cook the eggs for 6 minutes for runny yolk (5 minutes if your stove is strong) or up to 10 minutes for hard-boiled eggs. (8 minutes if your stove is strong)
When the cooking time is up, transfer the eggs from the pot to an ice water bath. Let it cool completely.
Meanwhile, let's make the sauce.
Combine soy, water, and rice syrup, stir until everything is well mixed. Now add garlic, green onions, chilies, and sesame seeds, stir.
Peel the eggs carefully without damaging them and add them into an air-tight container where you're going to store this dish.
Pour the sauce mixture over the eggs, cover, and store in a refrigerator for at least 6 hours to overnight before serving.
It will last 5 to 7 days in a refrigerator!
Enjoy with warm cooked rice and a bit of drizzled sesame oil!
Note: Don't add sesame oil to the sauce mixture. It will make the eggs go bad faster.

I just made this recipe. It's delicious! I love the spiciness. The only red chili I could find fresh were fresno chilis. Great topped with the sesame oil. I'll definitely be making this one again. I don't have Instagram, but I'll be posting pictures on Facebook. Thank you!!

Can I reuse the marinade for more eggs? Or has it gone off after a week with the previous eggs marinating in it?

Seonkyoung November 23, 2022 at 12:01 pm
Although I don't recommend reusing the marinade after a week, if you would like to I would suggest you boiling it and also adding some more vegetables into it. Hope this helped! (:

Thanks for the great recipe, Seonkyoung! I made a bunch the second I finished seeing your video. How long do they last in the marinade in the fridge?

It's so yummy! I've only had one whenever I make a batch because my boyfriend devours them all before I can have another. They're very easy to make and I always have the ingredients so I make it fairly often. ouo

I wanted to know if we can reuse the soy sauce after we finish the eggs? Is the onion and garlic gonna go bad if I use again?

bring the marinade to a boil then let it cool down, then you can reuse the marinade

Is it okay to re-use the soy sauce mixture and add in more eggs when they are all eaten? Or will the sauce mixture go bad as well? Thanks for the recipe! Can't wait to try 😊

If you want to reuse the marinate, make sure to boil it before the second use to get rid of extra moist form the veggies. Though, I don't recommend to reuse the marinade- it will go bad faster than the first batch and it has done its job. (most of the flavors got into the eggs) In my case, the marinate is most likely gone because I mix them with rice! Sometime I just make fried eggs and pour the sauce! hahahah it's really good!

Are the eggs eaten cold (right out of the fridge) or warmed up for a few seconds in the microwave?

Thank you for the recipe! Do we increase the ingredients for the sauce if we would like to add more eggs? And will the eggs be overly salty at the end of 7 days? Thank you!
Reply
Seonkyoung January 17, 2022 at 7:01 pm
This sauce recipe can handle up to 6 to 8eggs! Just make sure to use a right container that will cover the eggs evenly. The eggs won't be salty because the sauce is not salty at all!

Can the sauce be used again for next round?
Can I used the left over sauce to marinate tao fu?

I finally made this recipe. Yum!!!! I didn't have the green onions or the chilies so I added some Thai Chili flakes and some garlic chili sauce. I also like things with a sour taste, so I added black vinegar. Cooked up some rice and sautéed a chicken sausage to go with my eggs. Soooooo good!!!!

I didn't have rice syrup, so I subbed for corn syrup. It ended up tasting okay. Is there a big difference in taste between using the two?

Hi Seonkyoung, I wish to like this recipe but I made it both times without spring onions and chilli and the eggs turned out extremely salty. They were not palatable at all 😭😭😭 is it because I omitted spring onions? I don't like them 😭

Hi, thank you for you recipe. I love it. I have a question, this is the 2nd time I make the eggs, the first time is a big success. But at the second time, the mixture became sticky after a day like glue and the eggs turn sour within 5 days. Is the eggs turn bad?

Can I leave a request … don't make it soooooo sweet!!! It was near perfect but the sweetness made it taste half dessert.

Hi Seonkyoung! I made this following your recipe but I didn't catch the note about the sesame oil, so I added it in the sauce mixture! Can I know how many days will the eggs last — since I added in the sesame oil to the mixture?
Reply
Seonkyoung October 12, 2022 at 11:03 am
That shouldn't be an issue, it should last about 3 to 5 days in the fridge!

I cooked one batch, which we finished eating immediately since they're so good. Seeing there's so much yummy sauce left, I soaked another batch. Wonder how long I can keep doing this? 1 week before the spring onions go bad?
