Simple Gyeran Jjim (Korean Steamed Eggs)

Ingredients

  • 3 Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • ⅓ Cup Water
  • 1 Tablespoon Water

Garnish for Gyeran Jjim

  • A dash Sesame Oil
  • Few sprinkles Sesame Seeds
  • Few sprinkle Chopped Green Onions
  • A sprinkle Gochugaru (Optional)

Instructions

Prep Eggs

  • Crack 3 whole eggs into a bowl. Add Sugar (1 teaspoon!), Kosher Salt (1 teaspoon!) and give a thorough mix.
  • Add in Water (⅓ Cup + 1 Tablespoon). Or 100ml of water to be exact!
  • Place the egg mixture into a Ttukbaegi (or small pot). Place onto a MEDIUM heat. Gently draw the egg mixture inwards into the pot as it slowly comes to a boil (reference video)
  • After a few minutes, you'll start to see curds forming and the egg mixture will start to set - immediately stop stirring and add a bowl on top! Lower the heat to a LOW - and let it cook for 2-3 minutes on low heat (once its done, you'll smell slightly the egg in the air).
  • Carefully take off the bowl. Garnish the steamed eggs with a drizzle of Sesame Oil, Sesame Seeds, Chopped Green Onions and a dash of Gochugaru (optional)!
  • Eat alongside a bowl of hot rice - Bon Appetit!
