Korean DRUG Egg Recipe [Mayak Gyeran] So GOOD You'll Be Addicted To Making These - Mum and Son Cook
These really are epic, and we had no idea that Koreans had there own version of a traditional Chinese dish Mum used to make in our family street food stall, so when we heard of Mayak Gyeran, aka Korean drug eggs, we had to try them. This is our take on the recipe, and know its not exactly the traditional version, it's just how we like to do them and we thought we'd share our recipe for the drug eggs with you guys, as we're trying to branch out with more East and South East Asian recipes then just Chinese takeaway. Personally I like to leave my eggs out the fridge for 20 minutes before I eat mine, as the cold egg texture is very similar to mushrooms for me and I hate the texture of mushrooms, mum likes them straight from the fridge. These are so simple to make and are well worth the wait, considering once they're in the marinade you don't need to worry about them.
