Soy Marinated Eggs
In Korean cuisine, soy-marinated eggs are often served as a side dish (banchan) or topping for rice bowls or soups, and are enjoyed for their savoury flavor and texture. The dish has become increasingly popular in recent years, both in Korea and internationally, as a quick and easy snack or breakfast item. (Hmmm, not sure about the breakfast thing, but I have seen a lot of crazy things served for breakfast at international hotels, and frankly, these are pretty tame in comparison!)
The origin of soy-marinated eggs in Korean cuisine is not entirely clear, but it is believed to have been influenced by Chinese cuisine. Soy sauce, which is a key ingredient in the dish, was first introduced to Korea through trade with China during the Three Kingdoms period (57 BC – AD 668). Over time, Korean cooks adapted and incorporated soy sauce into their own cuisine, including the preparation of marinated eggs.
