Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by bringing a medium-sized pot of water to a rolling boil. Carefully add the large eggs, using a slotted spoon to prevent splashing. Boil the eggs for exactly 6 minutes to achieve that soft, jammy yolk.
- Once the timer goes off, promptly transfer the eggs into a bowl filled with ice water. Let them sit in the ice bath for about 5-10 minutes.
- While the eggs cool, combine the finely chopped yellow onion, minced garlic, sliced green onion, and chopped chili pepper in a medium bowl. Add the toasted sesame seeds, soy sauce, honey, and water. Mix thoroughly until well-integrated.
- Once the eggs have cooled, gently tap each egg on the counter to crack the shell, then carefully peel them under running water.
- In an airtight container, arrange the peeled eggs in a single layer. Pour the prepared marinade over the eggs, ensuring they are fully submerged. Seal the container tightly and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
- After marination, remove the Mayak eggs from the refrigerator and slice them in half to reveal their beautiful, soft yolks.

Notes
Fresh eggs can be tricky to peel; opt for eggs a week old for better results. Allow the eggs to marinate overnight for best flavor infusion.
