Korean Marinated Eggs (Mayak Eggs)

These Korean marinated eggs, known as Mayak Eggs, are a savory, slightly spicy snack perfect for a quick lunch or as a flavorful addition to a bento box. The silky yolks soak up a tangy gochujang‑soy sauce blend, while sesame oil and garlic add depth, and a sprinkle of green onion provides a fresh finish.
