Mayak eggs, known as Korean drug eggs, are soft-to-medium boiled eggs marinated in a rich soy broth, integral to Korean, Japanese, and Taiwanese cuisines.
While their name may have drug connotations, mayak has been positively redefined by the youth to signify something irresistibly tasty, similar to how 'crack' is used in American slang.
The recent surge in mayak eggs' popularity reflects a wider trend of enjoying traditional banchan, but with modern twists and social media influence driving their appeal.
Preparing mayak eggs at home is straightforward, requiring careful boiling to achieve a perfect jammy yolk, thus encouraging more home cooks to experiment.
