Korean Inspired Deviled Eggs with Korean Marinated Eggs “Mayak Gyeran”

This deviled eggs twist on Korean Mayak Gyeran are oh so delicious!

The Deets

These are Korean inspired deviled eggs made with Korean marinated eggs called “Mayak Gyeran”. They’re delicious on their own or turned into a deviled egg like these. Mayak eggs are Korean marinated eggs that are soft boiled then marinated in a tasty marinade of soy sauce, garlic, peppers, and sesame seeds. I use Momofuku Goods Soy Sauce. You’ll marinate them overnight and they are great just like that, or taken a step further, and turned into these develed eggs.

The filling for these deviled eggs is so rich and delicious. It’s made with the yolk, a little kewpie mayo for silkiness, some wasabi for a little kick, and a sprinkle of furikake and then some of the Korean marinade. I topped with avocado, furikake & cucumber.
