Mayak Eggs (Soft Boiled, Korean Marinated Eggs)

A Mayak egg is a soft-boiled Korean egg marinated in a combination of soy sauce, scallions, sesame seeds, Thai chili, and sugar (or another sweetener). The literal translation of 'Mayak Gyeran' means “drug egg” due to its delicious, addictive umami flavor.

Ikura Rice Bowl (Golden Pearl Trout Caviar)

This is my favorite way to eat rice; covered with Ikura (aka Pearl Trout Roe). Especially when it’s executed correctly, this dish results in beautiful alchemy of warm, fragrant rice; slightly chewy in texture, and perfectly seasoned with rice vinegar that is subtle sweet yet still savory; paired with the alluring saline, umami, and earthy flavors of delectable trout caviar. The addition of 24k gold makes this dish a little extra fancy, if you are trying to impress a guest. However, it's optional. *Disclaimer: this is not a traditional recipe.* Recipe li
