Ingredients
To make Korean steamed egg, you will need the following ingredients:
– 4 eggs
– 1 cup of water
– 1 tablespoon of soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon of sugar
– 1 tablespoon of mirin (a sweet rice wine)
– 1 teaspoon of sesame oil
– 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder
– 1/4 teaspoon of salt
– Optional: 1 teaspoon of chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
1. Begin by whisking the eggs in a bowl until they are well combined. Make sure there are no lumps in the mixture.
2. In a separate bowl, combine the water, soy sauce, sugar, mirin, sesame oil, garlic powder, and salt. Stir the ingredients together until they are fully dissolved.
3. Pour the egg mixture into the water mixture. Mix well, ensuring that the egg and water are thoroughly combined.
4. Lightly grease a steamer or a heatproof dish with oil. Pour the egg and water mixture into the greased dish. Spread it out evenly to create a thin layer.
5. Place the dish in a steamer and steam for about 15-20 minutes, or until the egg is set and firm to the touch. The steaming time may vary depending on the size of the dish and the strength of your stove.
6. Once the egg is cooked, remove it from the steamer and let it cool for a few minutes. Then, using a spatula, carefully invert the dish onto a plate to release the steamed egg.
7. Optionally, garnish the Korean steamed egg with chopped green onions for an extra touch of flavor and color.
8. Serve the Korean steamed egg warm, and enjoy it as a delicious and nutritious meal on its own or as a side dish with other Korean dishes.
