Marinated Eggs (Korean Mayak Marinade 마약계란)
This is soft boiled eggs marinated in a mayak sauce also known as "drug eggs" because of how addicting the sauce is. It's sweet, spicy, umami, garlicky, and balanced.
You can also use this marinade/sauce for tofu, dumplings, or even noodles!
The base of my sauce recipe is perfectly balanced, I would just change the ratio of jalapeños/peppers used depending on your spice tolerance! If you don't like sesame seeds, you can sub that out.
Note: The eggs do get firmer in the marinade due to the salt and sugar content. It's similar to a gentle curing process. If you want the yolk to stay soft, I would marinate it no longer than 6 hours. Longer than that, the yolk turns jammy and fudgy like the photo in my last step.
If you like things extra spicy, I would add in some Thai chilis!

15-Minute Marinade for Frozen Egg Yolks 15-Minute Marinade for Frozen Egg Yolks
Whenever my eggs are about to hit their expiration date, I always store them in the freezer to create this easy and eco-friendly appetizer.It's a stylish dish to serve to guests as well.While freezing the eggs, the egg shells will crack, so be sure to freeze and defrost them in a resealable plastic bag. The defrosted egg whites will return to their original form, so use them as you normally do. If you don't have dashi soy sauce, use soy sauce and mirin instead. If you don't have shaoxing wine, substitute with sake. For 2 servings. Recipe by Ogunyanko

Eggplant & Tomato Salad in a Garlic-Flavored Marinade Eggplant & Tomato Salad in a Garlic-Flavored Marinade
I had some garlic-flavored marinated baby eggplant from a department store deli section. The baby eggplant had been deep-fried and soaked well in a refreshing and delicious marinade!I made some at home using cheap regular eggplant! I cooked them in the frying pan and combined them with the very well-matching tomato marinade to make this a type of salad. It was delicious!Don't burn the garlic!-The eggplant will fit perfectly into a 26 cm frying pan. You can add some more olive oil if you need to while cooking.-The juice that comes out while cutting the tomatoes can also be used in the sauce.-Let it chill to allow the flavors to blend thoroughly.-I recommend using Krazy Salt.
